Another option to consider is the petsd unit from Germany. It's expensive (49 euros) but looks nice. I haven't tried it yet. There is also the petdisk from USA which is cheaper (25 us dollars) but not as capable. I have one and it works ok. I am hoping to find image creation solutions for the petdisk. In the past I have used a b128 with null serial cable and cbmlink with much success. In place of the b128 a superpet should also work. I am also trying zoomfloppy with IEEE connector. And lastly, it should be possible to use a c64 with buscard-II and uiec. In summary, there are lots of ways, so it depends on how much you want to spend or what equipment you already own.
