BitBinder 1581S Floppy Disk Drive (Replica) arrived in the mail today. It's hard to find a good used 1581 drive, so I bought this replica drive for my MEGA65. I hooked it up, switched the drive selector switch to #9, booted my C64 V5.1 RC2 CORE and It works. Haven't tried it with the MEGA65 CORE yet. First impression of the drive. It does its job. The case is nicely 3D printed. I can't believe that I'm using Floppies after so many years and enjoying them. Nice job BitBinder. Thanks... 👍👍👍👍👍 Minor note - When I set JiffyDOS on the C64 Core the screen went Black and I had to reboot. I was able to use the drive with that setting off so no big issue as it will be figured out... 👉Thanks to dddaaannn JiffyDOS is working. I had to Buy the JiffyDOS ROM Images (For the C64 CORE) from RETRO Inovations. Build the jd-c64.bin file and copy jd-c64.bin and jd-c1541.bin files to the /c64 folder of the SD card 👍

Power supply is very robust, much more than it looks on the pictures, and you have got good feeling it was absolutely worth your money. :-) Quick, helpful and very friendly communication with customer support. The only drawback remains the price for non-US customers where you have to add expensive shipping costs and import taxes... But on the other hand - you have to pay for the quality. ;-) So the final verdict: definitely recommended! Thank you BitBinders for great job done and your contribution to Commodore community.

Faithful to the original, though in "problematic" areas you can still see it's 3D printed, but overall look and feel is just amazing!

This is really a professionally made, quality product. While it's 3D printed, it has a better, more robust feel than most injection molded products I've bought for my vintage computers. The color match is the best I've ever seen on a modern product for a vintage computer. Relocating the power input and output to the same side makes for a much more pleasant user experience when turning the machine on or off when compared to the original version from Commodore. This power supply does not look remotely out of place amongst your vintage computers. It looks the part while adding modern technology and conveniences that make it much more pleasant to use.
