That rang a bell...  If you have Raeto West's Programming the PET/CBM
(COMPUTE! Books) he does a several pages on the disk controller as well as the
BASIC syntax used.  (see Pages. 198-210)  Compu/think drives got their foot in
the door by being the first drive for the Original ROM PETs (as the Original
ROMs didn't have working IEEE-488 drive routines.).
