  1. Ever since I got a SIO2PC 11 years ago, I always said that I never looked back after ditching my Atari 8-bit disk drives.

     

    Tonight I'm eating crow.

      Welcome back to magnetic media! I have the SIO2PC, SDrive-max, etc., but I also have had an extensive floppy collection, so I never ditched my disk drives, I use them all. Variety of media is what I like, new and old. I also still have and use a 1010 tape recorder, though it's been upgraded for turbo speed; actually 4 times as fast as an early standard C64 1541 disk drive now! But still less than 1/4 speed of a standard 810/1050 (yes, standard Atari disk drives are 16x faster than standard Commodore drives!)

      I never ditched them either, but I rarely use disks these days. Too slow and unreliable. Mainly I used my drives to dump disks to disk images.


      That said, the occasional disk game on the Indus is fun. Particularly ones that require disk swapping.
