   On the websites in the comments section some write that C64 had variable   
   track or sector lengths or something like that.   
      
   If true then pc floppy drives would need to be able to do that to be able to   
   make such a floppy which some say the pc floppy drives/controllers cannot   
   do...   
      
   Otherwise it can only be done in partial steps to get the full floppy:   
      
   The PC makes the PC section on the floppy.   
   The C64 makes the C64 section on the floppy.   
      
   So then it would require at least two computers to make the floppy ! ;)
