    When problems like these crop up, I generally pass blame to the one thing that I'm certain screws with us every hour of the day, every day of the week: sunspots

    Puhleeze.


    Do that with a C<64 disk drive. Then I'll be impressed.


    (and i know that you can get a C<64 all-in-one)

    @OMG! Ponies!: I found one in the trash behind the school near me. I instead went for the DUAL Apple II disk drive unit.

    @OMG! Ponies!: The older 1540 or 1541 drives might just have enough space inside for that. The newer 1571 definitely would not.


    I've got two C128s, a C64, two 1541s and a 1571 in storage, wondering what to do with them. :)

    Sooo... how do you actually tell what time this clock is?

    Or rather, if you turn it upside down by mistake, can you flip it back? (Okay, the big cogwheel-thingamajig appears to be the twelve, but let's say I didn't know that.)
