Well, did anyone actually succeed in making it work?
And what kind of drive DID you use?
I'm asking, bcoz it's not easy to get hold of 5.25 drives, and I don't want
to spend too much time looking for a DD drive (which maybe are even
impossible to find anymore)...
ALSO, the panasonic drive I used is exactly the same as they used in the
tutorial about how to modify the drive the read the backside of c= disks, so
this drive should work! the authors themselves used a HD drive!

The 1541's higher bitspeed may be a problem for this kind of drives,
though.
Some will detect and drop the short data pulses (since they "know", that
they should receive <250kbps streams).
