Yeah, all you have to do is make a special floppy cable. Simply swap
pins 2 and 34 (I actually swapped pins 1&2 with 33&34 to give the
connector more than one wire to bite on).

Works on an Amiga anyway, don't see why it shouldn't work on a 1581. Oh
yeah, I believe the other stipulation is that the drive be a high
density drive.  Not a big deal. HD 1.44MB floppy drives can be had for
about $15 US.
