Can the Commander work the other way around, that is, act as a Commodore drive, connected to a Commodore machine?
No, and I’m not planning to implement that. The Commander acts as a Commodore machine, to make the drive think it’s communicating with the real thing. To implement the idea above, it would have to simulate a Commodore drive which is just the opposite and a more sophisticated problem. There exist file servers running on the PC, try those instead. • Q: How do I access the built-in drive of my C128D or SX64? A: Please, read the “Usage” section in the documentation. • Q: After having accessed my Commodore drive, I noticed that the DOS clock is late. How is that possible? A: There are two separate clocks: one is the CMOS clock, updated by the hardware, the other is the DOS clock, updated by a software interrupt. While accessing a Commodore drive, all interrupts are disabled so that they don’t interfere with the synchronization. In these intervals, the DOS clock is not updated, therefore it gets late. Don’t worry, if you reboot your machine, the DOS clock will be back to normal. • Q: I tried
