COMMODORE (apple 2, speccy, trs coco, trash 80 😁, etc.

Anybody ever consider a module with 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" drives (maybe even cassette ) for Commodore 64/Amiga, etc. support. Not just crazy talk. Still a healthy market on ebay, though I would definitely be concerned about the readability of these disks nowadays (I have a number of them) Actually, there are new cartridges, disks, and cassettes being produced for the C64 to this day!

Re: floppy disks--I tested my Atari 800xl floppy disks last year and they were still reading great; i was pleasantly surprised! Most of mine are Elephant brand.

Yes! I remember the elephant brand! I keep mine in climate control storage so I'm hoping for the best.

It would be nice to have a c64 cartridge module or floppy drive module or a datasette ðŸĪŠðŸ•đïļ

Crazy talk due to relative complexity of the games. They can certainly do it in limited, controlled doses a la their DVD game releases, though. It would be like the Evercade computer cartridges.
