Has anyone found a good disk drive that can be used with the
C64.  I have seen Commodore's disk drive, the 1541 I think that is
the number, and I have not been impressed.  In fact after reading
about all of the problems people out here are having with this disk
drive, I can not force myself to spend $270.00 for this poorly
designed paper weight.  Does anyone know for sure if Commodore is or
is not going to make an improved parallel interface disk drive?  If
so, when can we expect to see it out in the market place?  Otherwise
I would like to find another brand of disk drive that can operate on
the C64 without having to resort to a CPM interface.

I would like to have all replies posted to the general net.micro.cbm
for I find that the more who read these postings, the better the
feedback.
