The SFD-1001 was never 1541 compatible and came with a
IEEE-488 bus (for use with the PET/CBM seies) nessesitatingnthe use of
an IEEE adaptor for the 64. For some reason (not wanting
to bother with PET/CBM anymore) commodore cancelled these drives
before they got onto the market.
As for avalibility I believe that they were all shipped up to
a retail outlet in Toronto to be cleared out for $300 (can).
