You could maybe have mentioned the storing capacity... for future generations to know,

Just for information: ALL Commodore devices hat the name "VC _ _ _ _" (where _ is a serial number), but usually you don't speak out the VC, so it's just called "1541" instead of the real name "VC1541".

I still use floppies. U jelly Compact Discs?

[jocika99]

@creeper283 No. It's a normal 1541/C. It's not a VC.

Yay, a VC1541-Drive for Commodore 64!

I've got 2 at home an I LOVE THESE DRIVES !!

@HLD452 The 1.44Mb floppys were obsolete in 2001 or 2002, I had a WIN XP Pc

and it still had a Floppy Drive.

5.25inch floppy is not 1.44MB. I did not remember clearly, but it is confirmed less than 1MB.

[TheGor8000]

@HLD452 *1.44MB :)

Floppy disks weren't obsolete in 1995. I was a kid around 2004-2007, we had an internet cafe that has floppy drives! Since CD's are now famous today, floppy disks are now obsolete since 2005 I think. They only contained 44 MB compared to a blank CD which has 700 MB upwards! We kept floppy disks but how are we going to play them?
