Supposedly a real *DX64* (the prototype double-drive

Germany in a lucky someone's collection. It's not a hack, either (there's
a few of those out there too).
I've heard of it, but never seen one.
Actually, there is some resentment of Commodores in
some quarters...
I suppose their justification is that the C64 crammed their system out
of the market, and as a Mac user, I do have *some* sympathy :-), but
still ...
Well... I made a lot more money between 1982 and 1985 with the C-64
than I did programming for the Apple ][ or any other "home" computer,
so I know where my loyalties lie... the PET and the C-64 were what got
me warmed up for the big toys (32-bits and up...) As an Amiga owner
from way back, I understand the pain of
marginalization, but time
marches on and it brings cool stuff with it.
