@dawnraad There are dozens of solutions. If you really want to still use physical #floppy disks, a 1541 can be hooked up to a PC, nowadays typically using some USB adapter (there are several available), but if you have an old PC that still has a parallel port, a quite simple cable with just a few resistors and diodes would do as well (there are manuals to build one). For software, I'd recommend #OpenCBM with that.
Most people nowadays prefer to emulate the floppy instead. The "cheap" solution is called #SD2IEC ... working somewhat well, but failing with software trying to directly program the 1541 (like custom fastloaders as used in many games and demos). A very comfortable solution would be the 1541-Ultimate-II+, which offers perfect 1541 emulation plus several other goodies like ethernet (push your software with FTP, launch it remotely using telnet) 😎
