Tape drive would have been more appropriate, and more fun though :)

  I suffered enough of that back in my C64 days. Anybody who could afford it did get a floppy drive. I got an Amiga 500 at some point, instead. I still have the hardware and the tapes, so I intend to get everything operational again at some point. It's just in the back of the queue, as I am busy dealing with a lot of "retro" platforms already.

    At the end of the c64 era I had hd. Ran a large bbs. In the beginning of the c64 era a 1541 was more than enough. Using a hard drive for a c64 isn't uncommon.

  Since it is trying to replicate the C65 which came with a floppy, a tape drive wouldn't be more appropriate. Even for the C64 which is more era appropriate depends on where you lived. In the US the vast majority of C64s were used with a floppy drive. Software on tape was difficult to even find at your local computer store.
