Funny, I just wrote this to someone else five minutes ago ;-) I did this before and it works. There is one problem: The C64 (don't know about the 128, since it tries to boot) keeps one of the serial interface lines at low level after reset and therefore makes access to the drive from other hosts impossible. You have to set that line to HIGH and everything will be fine. It was either CLK or DATA, I forgot. What also works is to access a serial device once and after that the bus is free. But if the other host has the same error, the first host will just crash. Therefore you should just poke the proper value into the CIA port. No need to send the computer into an endless loop, it only accesses the bus if you tell it so. No IRQ driven bus service code like a drive.
