- Disk drive that work: Commodore 1540, 1541, 1571, 1581. Other drives such as
- the MSD SD-1/SD-2, Indus GT, and so on will likely work too.
- Some drives you can make a little faster with the VIC-20 (or the 64/128 with
- no VIC-II DMA) using some special incantation, but I don't remember it at the
- moment.
