you'll also be amazed to know that people have made hardware to allow the commodore to use ide drives, flash memory, usb, guitar hero guitar, etc..
Random trivia: (EDIT)
the commodore patents are owned by gateway. strike that. guess tulip does own them now, they need to stop selling them off :p
btw:
you'll need to purchase one of these

me thinks you don't own a commodore 64 .. as you tripped up ;-) the 64 doesn't have a dual drive.. only singular 1541's / 1581's etc
you might be surprised but you can use the net with a c64.. there is a web browser for it. how you hook it up, you'd use a Retro replay + silver surfer (that gives you c64 an rj45 port)..
and just use that via your router.. or piggy back off your existing connection.
besides no point, just use an emulator such as
on your pc..

if your curious what people are doing using c64 these days..
watch this, you may notice the impossible, such as more than 16 colours on screen at once =)

as for who bought the rights to the c64.. tulip computers in Holland
$d012 flexing since 1982...

funny stuff! I just threw out an old 486 DX2. Machine was blazing with 64 MB of ram (made up of 8 memory chips) and a 300 MB hard drive! MS-DOS 3.3.
Those were the days when Mr. Gates loved "open source".

If the Commodore 64 has an Ethernet port, yes. Or, if you have another type of network port you can get a converter since the DSL modem will have an Ethernet port on it. Also, you have to have TCP/IP installed.
