Strange looking 1541 ?

Have you seen 1541 that look like this?

It's 1541C (1541 upgrade version)
I had it when I was a kid.

Yes I have one of those, and (is it two?) of the older model and one 1541-II.

Yep. Seen one, but never had one like it. I have two 1541-IIs and a 1541 with pull-down lever rather than turn-latch.

It's the newer model, associated to the C64C.

Ok. So this was sometimes between 1541 and 1541-II. I also have other white 1541, but drive door is normal like at 1541 not like 1541-II has. I did always think that C64C and 1541-II come almost same time. But seems that they just made 1541 of white plastic first.

Yes, one or two of those are in our storage.

Yep... the 1541C. I had one as part of a system I got from Montgomery Grant many years ago... 64C, 1541C, amber monitor and a Commodore plotter. Later, I added a brown 1541 that someone had clipped to make it a permanent drive #9 and a VIC-1541 that someone installed device switches on, so it could be hard-switched to anything (I usually kept it set to 10).

Man, I had that system forever and it still ran like a top when I got rid of it. <sigh>

That was my first disk drive. I wish I never sold it. Sigh.
