MaDDuck Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Does anyone here happen to have either the 3.5 inch disk that came with the 1581 and or 1581 toolkit? I picked up a working drive for a song ($5 at goodwill!) but the only disks that they had were blanks. help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 The 1581 demo disk(s) are available here, though of course you need a method to transfer them as well as restore to physical disks: http://zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/demodisks/drives/index.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDDuck Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 I'll offer a few Pesos to anyone that will put that on an actual disk for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnuphis Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I can probably do it. I have a 1541/1581 connected to my PC for disk making. If you send me a return postage paid envelope I will make you a disk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDDuck Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 what about the 1581 toolkit? Do you have that disk too? If you don't have it, there is a link on this page http://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31077 Go down to a posting by gklinger on Thu Aug 20, 2009 12:08 am click in his post where it says "here" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDDuck Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 One more thing Make sure to grab the 1581demo.d81.gz from the page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnuphis Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Yep I nabbed the test/demo and the toolkit D81 images. If you send me a return postage paid card backed envelope big enough for 2 3.5" disks I will do the rest. PM me for my address. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDDuck Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 Yup!! I have a big padded envelope all ready to go, just PM me your address and I'll get it out ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnuphis Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 PM sent. Once I get your return envelope I will send you the disks. I made them today on my PC/1581. I'll probably give them a test run on the 64 just to make sure all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDDuck Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Did it show up yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnuphis Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Yes it arrived today but you didn't put enough postage on the envelope and USPS stamped it with '$0.50 owed'. Secondly you just threw in an identical stamp for return and with two disks inside the postage cost will be higher to send it back. So I will toss it in the mail when I get the chance but I cannot guarantee it will show up since the stamp provided is not sufficient postage. Also the envelope supplied was not card backed just a bubble wrap one so again so hopefully they don't try to bend it or the disks will be no good.

MaDDuck Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Oh no! I have been selling on eBay since the 1990's and have never undershot postage this bad! https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=darth_pikachu I am so sorry. It did make it here with $3.00 due Once again I am sorry that this got complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnuphis Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 No worries. I am glad the disks made it to you as I was worried that the underpostage may have caused it to get 'lost in the system'. Hopefully you can enjoy the delights of your 1581 now.
