Why not the 1541?
- vidarh 10y agoBecause it's huge, heavier than the C64 (after all it contains a full 6502 computer and a big PSU and the drive mechanism), noisy, loses alignment easily, and is ridiculously slow.
- rasz_pl 10y agowelcome to the eighties computing, uphill, in the snow, both ways, and we liked it.
- asimuvPR 10y agoNostalgia helps soften it. I used to own a 1541 back in the 80s and it was OK back then. Either way, if available new, I will buy one no matter what. The noises it made transport me to a time when all I did was code without deadlines (good ole days) :)
