Fired it up about 4 months ago and it works as good as the day I bought it! As well as my 1541 Drive, which I updgraded from tape drive a year after purchasing my Commodore 64 (which unfortunately was fried by a faulty power supply). What's incredible though, the 1541 drive and the 5 1/4" floopy disks still hold up great after nearly 20 years! Including all of that pirated software from good friends of the Detroit area BBS's. Oh yes, I've still got my tape drive too, with O'Riley's Mine on tape. And it all still works! I don't boot it up much though, since I found the C64 emulators and all the C64 software sites... now I can play all my old C64 games on my Axim PPC! It's awesome re-living those old days on the go.
