1570

 

General Information

The 1570 is fairly common here in Australia, wheras the 1571 is slightly more elusive. These were released with the Commodore 128.

Notes:

Very reliable drive - can take a beating and still run. To give you an idea, someone gave me a 1570 that had been under a house for 10 years - COVERED in dirt. Worked fine.

According to SWoC, the 1570 was only released for a relatively short time, as the production run for the 1571 was taking longer than expected. The 1570 is nothing more than a 1541 power supply & case with 1571 electronics!

To prove it, I opened up one of my 1571's - look below!
