    Indespensible Hardware/Software

    Once I picked up a C64, 1541 disk driver/printer combo at Goodwill for $10 and a black cartridge was stuck in the 64. Lo and behold it was a EPYX Fastload Cartridge. Did some searches online for some docs and it is a great add on! IMO the Commodore OS by the time of the early 80s sucked...

    Commodore Multiple Disk Copying

    I'd like to backup some recently acquired Commodore disks in an easy fashion, and not have to do single floppy copying. Even though I have an EPYX FastDisk (I believe it's called) cartridge to facilitate disk commands, the only easy way to copy from device 8 to 10 is to write my own BASIC...

    Multiple Commodore 1541 Disk Drives

    I'd like to have more than one 1541 drive attached, but there is a hardware mod mentioned on Ch 9 page 40 of the 1541 Disk Drive book where it is mentioned that there is two jumpers that both or either have to be cut to make it a physically seperate drive. For instance, a "load '*',8,1" would...
