So there's some company still making those?


Yes, I have contacts with a company that will produce new manufacturing runs of floppies. However, the ones I am selling now are NOS (New Old Stock). Newly manufactured floppies are much more expensive.

How can you use them on a C64?

I obtained one recently and only came with a tape recorder. I was too young in C64's heyday (started with Amigas) so I don't know much about them. Can I connect a 3.5'' floppy somewhere? Instructions?


Commodore made one called the 1581 disk drive. You simply plug it in(power to wall, serial cable to C64), turn it on and use it like you would a 1541 disk drive.

If you don't know any Commodore basic or DOS commands, Project64 has all the manuals.

BTW I can go lower on the 1581, especially outside eBay.
