Apple started it all with the Apple][ disk drives which are all
GCR.  But, no, - you can't read Apple<->C64/128.

The only GCR controller I ever knew of was the IWM - Integrated
Woz Machine that is/was proprietary to Apple.  Here's a useless
task for you hackers on the net: Interface the IWM to the PC bus
to read/write Commodore diskettes.  Send entries to Wayne Greene
c/o the poor house.
