Can these disks be accessed in modern drives?
I recall it was more than simple formatting but track location differences back then between apple, tandy, BBC, commodore, etc.
Are you old enough to remember the write-protect pliers to cut out a second write protect slot to use both sides of a 5 1/4in disc?

Are there people here who have been in C64 demo scene and have been swapping material and have them in 5.25 floppies?
I still have my C64 with both cassette and floppy disc drive, with some games that still work. (a few years ago I showed my son what the games were like when I was young...)

I too, still have the C=64 with two 1541s. I never "modded" the 2nd drive to have its own address, it was just a backup. We also had a typewriter that doubled as a daisy-wheel printer in what appeared to be a really kludgey setup that actually worked.
I'll see if I can find the old disks and see what turns up on them. I'm not too sure how I would bridge the gap from the C=64 to modern PC. I suppose old school null modem would do the trick, albeit s...l...o...w...l...y...

I have C64 setup coming up with discette and cassette player plus sd card reader plus VHS player with analog tv plus LP and cassette player with radio. Retro home theater build inside and on top of an old russian harmonica. But I found a nice C64 demo scene page where I can diwnload demos and then gonna move them on sd card. But I like floppies. Just thought if there would be someone with a lot C64 stuff and willing to swap maybe to something N starting Nokia product.
