You can screw around with cutting cables and getting special connectors, or you could just spend $3 or $4 on a C= tape drive. Contact one of a dozen people selling their equipement from our BUY/SELL forum viewforum.php?f=3
or you could contact your local C= club or you could by one on eBay.

Personally, I would just buy a disk drive and floppies from someone in our BUY/SELL forum. But you could also buy 1541 from eBay:

or better yet, a 1581:

If you are asking how can this physically be connected then the answers are in our MANUALS section http://www.commodore.ca/manuals/default.htm
and the following graphic may help.
