Does anyone recognise my new gaming PC with 64 KiB RAM and 'blazingly fast' 1MHz CPU ?

    Uh, nice, and amazingly fast drive :-)

    In germany that was named "Datasette", don't know how it was called in english speaking countries. A pal had one of those, really nice to wind forward and backwards observing the counter to stop at the right position.

    I had the luck to have a 1541 floppy drive right from the start, but I always wanted to hav a 1571 with 3,5" discs.

    So have fun, whatever games have survived that long on tape.

    @ddephor It's called like that everywhere, like data+cassette = datasette. Yeah it's awesome, many things work, but most of all I'm keen to play with assembly on it (after I write my own assembler in BASIC which is not gonna happen soon). Would love to have 1541/1571

    What that fast.
    I can't imagine that we will ever have anything faster then that.
    Woah

    (I'm joking of course, or am I not ? 🀨)

    This was the computer I cut my teeth on. Got me started programming at 4, and I've been doing it ever since.

    Pretty sweet man. I had one ;___; grandma's cleaning lady (or grandma herself) threw it away.

    I cried.

    I had a 64 with the 1571. Skipped the 1541 all together.

    Never had a 128 which could actually take full advantage of it. @ddephor

    What are you going to use it for?

    *In Chandler's voice
    Gaming and stuff

    @intromatt Other pal had a C128, but never used it that way because there were no software for it. It always ran in C64-mode.

    But we were young and had so much fun with it.

    The 128 was a beautiful and highly underrated beast. @ddephor
