The vc-1541 (the cream one) may be a vic-1541. This revision of the '41 uses different timings that don't work with the c64 (ie the delays during badlines on the c64's video IC). You might try turning the video chip off (cant remember the poke), and then blindly loading $. Then runstop/restore to see if it read anything :) -David On Mon, 8 Apr 2002, Daniele Gratteri wrote: > Hello, > from few weeks, I have got a VC-1541, the cream 1541, which has the long > logic board.
