I do a lot of this. The absolutely easiest thing for you to do
is to get the ReadySoft C64 Emulator II which comes with a
speecial cable that connects a standard 1541 type disk drive to
the Amiga Parallel port. There is a program included called
"Transfer" that will read and write to and from the 1541, even
does PetSCII to Ascii conversion if requested. It works
perfectly, I've transferred many Megabytes with it.
The C64 Emulator itself bites the big one, but the cable and
Transfer program are worth the price.
