Commodore 1581/1581D LED Enhanced v2.6
Currently Taking pre-orders, I will fill orders as the boards come in.
Now Carried at ToTs RETRO. This is the most current evolution of the COREi64 reproduction 1581 bare PCB. This the latest iteration of a COREi64 exclusive reproduction that includes the option of installing an alternate power supply circuit and integrated illumination on the top and bottom of the PCB.
What the alternate power supply circuit means, is that with a few extra components installed, you can power your 1581 drive with any DC wallwart of 1amp or better in any voltage between 8-35vdc. This alternate circuit employs a switching power regulator and some ancillary components to convert voltages in that range down to the voltage required by the drive. No need to worry about the DC input voltage or having to buy an overpriced 1581 original power supply.
