Thank you for your feature request. Indeed we plan to make use of the built-in "1565" in future. Our minimum goal is to use it as an 1581; CMD-FD2000 would be the cherry on the cake.
(Workaround: In the meantime, as this might take a while: You are aware that you can connect real IEC devices, for example a real 1581 or CMD-FD2000 to the MEGA65? Just make sure that the device ID is not 8.)
Thank you @sy2002, I am aware of this, and I use my CMD-2000 Clone (Firedrive 2k) with the Emulator. Works nice.
It would be nice to have the 1565 Drive working with 1581 or even CMD-FD2000 Disks. This would make my archiving easier quite much. For now the internal disk drive cant be used at all from the core.
It would be nice to have the choice for Disk Drive 8 to use an image (of any format) or the internal 1565 Drive. It is important for quite many software, that it is seens as 1581 or CMD FD-2000 Drive. Because the 1565 was never released from Commodore, this would break software like dracopy or so.
