In de floppydrive zat een processor die sneller was dan de hoofdprocessor van de C64. Als ik het wel heb was er een programma om Mandelbrot-sets te tekenen die ruim 2x zo snel was als je een floppy-drive had (werd een deel van het rekenwerk aan uitbesteed).

Ein Bestellnummer-Moment der besonderen Art – 6502! 🛒 Für Technik-Insider ist das nicht nur eine Nummer, sondern auch die Bezeichnung eines Mikroprozessors aus dem Jahr 1975. 🕰️
Dieser kleine Chip steckte in legendären Geräten wie dem Apple I, Commodore VC20, Floppydrive 1541 und dem Atari 800.
Im Bild sieht man einen Screenshot aus Microsofts Teams, im Chatfenster steht: "Ich hab mir Freitag ein Loch in den Bauch gefreut, als ich die Bestellnummer eines Online-Einkaufs gesehen habe: (Bestellnummer #6502) (30. August 2024)

Hier steht noch ein Commodore 64 rum. Ob das Floppydrive und die Datasette noch tun, weiß ich allerdings nicht.

Och jag skulle behöva fixa en ny floppydrive till min IBM PS/2 P70, med ett oerhört nostalgivärde för mig.

This is all interesting stuff :) Plan to put a PiStorm32-lite in the trapdoor, and a Gotek drive to replace the floppydrive.

Scratching that tech tinkery ADHD itch :D
