Was really good, just finished.

Too bad that the 1581 (TCFS owned), never really got the chance to be a real medium on our platform. 800KB VS 160KB (OK the speed was the same, though with a small HW hack you can reach the Burst 30Kb/sec mode on C64 on 1571 and 1581 drives)

OFF: actually the .d81 fileformat is really useful if someone has to keep track of more than 130 files on one disc.. Was a big relief at some point, that yape and plus4emu and sd2iec support this fileformat.. But seems max also only around 250 files or something, if I remember right.. But hey 800Kb, wow!

How much stuff should have been stuffed into that, how many infos we're missing due the language. Ok, it's now time to learn Hungarian once forever!

@MMS: in fact the 1581 is much faster than the 1541. They use the same protocol (without burst mode, obviously) but reading/writing sectors and stepping is much, much faster on the 1581 so overall performance is better (I think it"s even better than 1551 - for sure with my IOLib but probably with KERNAL routines too)

 Re: Two hours interview with TCFS

Is there a good hungarian soul that can translate / summarize the most interesting points from a technical perspective? In alternative would TCFS be available for an interview in English?

OFF
@siz: thanks for the info. few years ago I wanted to buy one, but was not available (even the kit), now it is just too expensive...

ON:
it was interesting to hear about the evolution of the SID music converters. I did not know there was such a bitter fight who was the first grin

I registered to Google's AI Speech to text converter tool, to pass it to the Translate.Google to make a Hungarian --> English draft translation with later correction, but it is simply it is too complicated for me. Sorry.

 Re: Two hours interview with TCFS

Truly interesting interview, that allow you to deep know "our" master TCFS!
By reading it I really was touched. How many energy, suffers and passion we Plus/4' mates we've put in those years. And what feelings just remembering them!
Thank you.
