Interesting. The Sirius was famous in its day for the "wining tones" of the
variable speed disk drive, which the Commodore didn't have (in a later post
someone says that the Commodore drives changed the data rate instead), so I'm
surprised they're so similar.
Didn't Chuck Peddle design the Sirius? It would explain the commonality
in features between its drives and the Commodore drives.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
