I can try to answer them the best I can.

Yes, you can put the images back to the real disks, and the kind of disks to get are DS,DD disks. No high density floppy disks will work on the 1541 drives.

You can purchase a XM1541 cable which you use to connect the 1541 drive to your PC, assuming you have a PC.  The amiga itself can write to the 1541 by wiring a simple cable to the parallel port, and i believe its called Easy1541 on aminet.

Those cablea and the part to the keyboard may be easy to get, but it depends.  Ebay is probably your best bet since you can probably score yourself a c64 with working keybaord, and also coming with all the cables you need. I think the hardest part is to get the drives themselves since shipping would cost a boatload for even just 1 1541 drive.

Also, i recommend you get a Fastload cartridge for your c64, if not, then loading times can be a pain in the arse.  :-)

Not knowing where you live, where do you live? lol.  I am wondering if i brought back all my cables/cords with me from nevada.  Let me know. Thanks.
