KOJRO Retro innovations | The Commodore 64 resurrection series, Part 8, Bit Nibbling the 1581 @kojroRI | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
This is part eight a series of videos where we celebrate the 40-year anniversary of the Commodore 64 by doing a bunch of repair videos. This time we do something totally different as it seems that the last video’s in this series has started to lose some interest. We are going to build a complete replica of the 1581 using nothing but parts that have never been used in a Commodore before. Back in the day a Bit Nibbler was the ultimate tool to copy diskettes that no other software could. So I think the name is appropriate as we try to copy the 1581. I have a lot of old C64’s both single motherboards and complete systems. Nearly all of them need some kind of attention now, and many of them have been neglected now for the best part of 30 years, and shows the sign of that. In the prequel to this series I did build a SixtyClone board to have as a reference, and tool to test chips and other peripherals. I do appreciate feedback, and I find it difficult to maintain a good rhythm on these repairs, so some pointers will be appreciated. So happy birthday C64, and as an appreciation for the community and the future of the remaining C64’s out there. Here is my number 8 video in the C64 Resurrection series, so let’s celebrate our favorite 8-bit computer. #C64 #1581 #commodore
