ddephor45117yUh, nice, and amazingly fast drive :-)
In germany that was named "Datasette", don't know how it was called in english speaking countries. A pal had one of those, really nice to wind forward and backwards observing the counter to stop at the right position.
I had the luck to have a 1541 floppy drive right from the start, but I always wanted to hav a 1571 with 3,5" discs.
So have fun, whatever games have survived that long on tape. -
@ddephor It's called like that everywhere, like data+cassette = datasette. Yeah it's awesome, many things work, but most of all I'm keen to play with assembly on it (after I write my own assembler in BASIC which is not gonna happen soon). Would love to have 1541/1571

What that fast.
I can't imagine that we will ever have anything faster then that.
Woah
(I'm joking of course, or am I not ? π€¨) -
greyfade2137yThis was the computer I cut my teeth on. Got me started programming at 4, and I've been doing it ever since.

Pretty sweet man. I had one ;___; grandma's cleaning lady (or grandma herself) threw it away.
I cried. -
I had a 64 with the 1571. Skipped the 1541 all together.
Never had a 128 which could actually take full advantage of it. @ddephor -
ddephor45117y@intromatt Other pal had a C128, but never used it that way because there were no software for it. It always ran in C64-mode.
But we were young and had so much fun with it.
