I finally got it! Though I couldn’t test the CBM then and there, as its way too dusty under the hood. Didnt wanna risk shorting the electrics or worse. I’ll show just how dusty it all is tomorrow.

Talking of Dusty insides, the insides in general are rather interesting actually. It has From what I can tell, some ancient modifications done to it which im not sure what they do. But thats for tomorrow! Im just glad that I got to pick it up today, and I even got this pretty cute pic while I was at it!

    Assuming it works, are you going to look for a drive, or maybe a flash storage interface?

      Yeah I’ll look for one of those original Dual Floppy Drives! Though might be a bit difficult as they are all more expensive then the Computer itself…

        I wonder if a parallel interface could be hacked into a 1581, making use of the ROM’s support for it.

          Yeah I’ve read online that there is an adapter of sorts, but from what I understand it isnt fully compatible
