Very good thoughts, nick. However, 1541's are far more common, and people
are thus far more likely to be willing to junk one up for the project. I'm
a proud owner of a 1571, and would only hack it up if I'm sure it wouldnt
defeat its original purpose, as its my only working floppy drive (my SX64's
drive has been removed to make room for enhancements).
