 |  Re: Who has a broken 1551?
If the price is reasonable, count me in. Not just to support the project but because it's usually the "unfixable" (lack of replacement parts) issue with 1551 drives.
Btw, forum64 might be a good place to get more feedback. Most 1551 drives have been sold in Germany and there are a couple of users on that forum who might have a 1551 but neither follow this forum nor that FB page.
siz: BSZ'S project was featured here, too. I remember being absolutely amazed =) I always wondered if this would ever go beyond "prototype" or "one of a kind", i. e. if he would offer to sell this. Could you ask him about that? Even with sd2iec around, there are still some people who like real disk drives.
I know, this is definitely more complicated than the SIDCARD due to the changes in the drive and in the plus/4. Nevertheless, if he could roughly estimate how many boards he would have to make (that is "sell") for what price and which modifications the user would have to perform himself, that would be great.
