The new Rear Admiral hard drive for the C64/128
« on: November 20, 2010, 03:20:52 AM »
A few months ago I discovered that the Rear Admiral hard drive system was about to be released.  It is now in full distribution from the designer and through eBay.

The Rear Admiral hard drive is a modernized, improved incarnation of the 1980's Lt. Kernal hard drive.  Faster than a CMD hard drive, the Rear Admiral boasts a slew of features, plus complete Lt. Kernal compatibility.  Not only can you buy the system, but you can also buy the chips, DOS, and/or other parts to improve your Lt. Kernal hard drive and bring it up to Rear Admiral standards.

For a more complete description of the Rear Admiral, go to

For a discussion of the Rear Admiral, go to

To see the Rear Admiral on eBay, search for Rear Admiral hard drive.

Perhaps this is a GEOS user thing, who knows.

No, like the Lt. Kernal, the Rear Admiral is incompatible with GEOS.
