Video of my 1541-64HDD
Posted: Sun Mar 01, 2009 4:12 pm
I've put together a video of my 64HDD in a
1541 case. My camera is a cheap Fuji, so quality is
not the best. Plus I suck at this.

I've hooked a monitor up the the 64HDD so you can
see the operation. Normally I run it 'headless', sealed in
the 1541 case. Without a keyboard, you change directories
via load"$dirname",8. This makes 'change disk to side b'
impossible. I plan to route the vga and keyboard plugs
to the rear, then I can run it either way.
I take the zip disk to my main pc to load new files.
Specs:
CPU: AMD 386 40mhz
MB: unknown, pc-on-a-card mini form factor
Memory: 4MB
Hard drive: 5GB laptop drive (mapped at device 11)
Removable Media: 100 MB Iomega zip drive (mapped at device![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
Power supply: unknown, came with MB.
Internal xe1541 cable, so I just use a standard serial cord
to hook to the Commodore.
I need to make a video of my 64HDD / SX64 combo also.
