Some good ones guys. Else where on the web this type of topic can cause issues and arguments but really this is not about that. It's just here as a reference point to highlight what is GOOD! 
The 1551 floopy drive
The 1531 dattasette's different connector largly stopped C64 and Vic20 users from stealing our hardware. Many 1531's are low mileage units thanks to the majority of retail games making use of the C16's 12k of memory. 12k Turbo loaders would take around 32-36 on the number counter were as C64 would load the average game with loading screen to 100+ on the number counter. A small amount of adapters were made so C64 and Vic20 could make use of the 1531. The chances of finding a good working 1531 vs the over used 1530 are much higher and is one of our best kept secrets.
