Yes, going from a tape drive to the good ole 1541 was like night and day. Incredibly reliable device. I can't say the same thing for C=64 power supplies though.

- thwarted 11y agoIncredibly reliable device You never had to adjust the alignment of stepper motor in the 1541? The drive would "get out of alignment" because the copy protection on the commercial games would jam the head in the extreme edges of the drive. This was where all the noise the drive made while loading copy protected games came from. It's true that the device was generally highly reliable, but the user groups I attended had learn-to-align-your-1541 lessons regularly.
