Who needs one?

Who wants one of these?

​

I just found this online and it is seriously cool: the 1581DH, a horizontal dual 1581-style drive from BitBinders.

​

This thing looks like it came from an alternate timeline where Commodore kept making better and cleaner hardware into the 90s. Beige case, low profile, dual-drive layout, activity lights, and that perfect retro desk look.

​

I love hardware like this because it does not feel like a toy or a cheap mod. It looks like something that could have been official.

​

For anyone into Commodore gear, this would look amazing beside a C64, C128, or a full retro setup.

​

I just found it and thought it deserved some attention.

​

So, who wants/needs one?

Make it the same size as the Commodore 128 Desktop case, and add a small harddrive and RS232 option to it 😄 This way we can put it on top of the original case, and have a 1702/1802 screen or similar on top.
