> the 1541 floppy drive

Ah, the legendary 1541. We used to joke it was the only floppy drive on any 8-bit micro that was actually slower than some dial-up modems. It wasn't actually slower, but it was really slow compared to most other 8-bit computer's drives (unless you added after-market accelerators).

Crazy fact: I found out recently that the 1541 had the same 6502 CPU as the Vic20, but was clocked at a HIGHER speed.

Who knew :)
