Can I use a floppy disk with the C64?
I have a 5.25 inch floppy disk, is this compatible with the Commodore 64?

The Commodore 64's floppy drive is actually more complex than other PC drives, so other disks are NOT compatible. You'll have to get disks that are specific to the C64.

This a rather interesting drive designed specifically for the commodore 64:

you'll need a Commodore 1541 disk drive and it works with any blank or c64 game 5¼" disks

You need the "SHUGART" interface protocols on the drive. So it can interface with the timing and positioning.

If you are unable to find disks / a working drive, some hardware hackers have managed to emulate it with a Raspberry Pi.
