The Linux floppy driver can read and write 1581 disks if you tune the
parameters. At least Linux kernel 1.x or 2.0 did that. I think that the
setfdprm command was later removed, or the interface was changed,
and the /etc/fdprm file was removed from GNU/Linux distributions.
I'll have to try it some day, since I was asked to comment on a 1581-based
demo preview today.
The FUNET CD should work even on those systems that do not support
Rock Ridge (*nix) or Joliet (Windows) extensions for long file names.
Just open IX.HTM instead of index.html, and all links will be correct.

The http://www.commodorebillboard.de/ CD looks like (non-validated) HTML,
and the media files are MPEG-1 if I remember correctly.
I'm asking 10 EUR or 15 USD for the set, including shipping.
