A donated 1541 with nice VIC colors. It does work but the fuse holder is broken and there’s a scorch mark next to it. Might replace it with modernish power supply after I thoroughly clean it. Cool to have a long board variant.

← Designed a simple demo in Logisim, which worked great. But it's not nearly as satisfying as making it for real. So... out comes the breadboard. I wonder if I can make the wires neat... probably not. Happy Friday!
When I sit and think about WHY I'm building a VIC chip drop-in, I sometimes lose sight of the goal. But just today, one of the CIAs on my Commodore 128 died. So happy for products like the J-CIA. This 128 has many drop-in replacement parts and is a good motivator. →
