I was thinking both were about $300 each. I'm pretty sure that's what the
drive was as I seem to recall it cost as much as my VIC-20 did, which when
I got it was $300.
More expensive?!?! The C-64 with a C-1541 would
have been about $600 when
introduced IIRC, at the same time a Apple ][ was about $1200-1500 I believe.
No, at intro the C-64 listed for US $599. I don't recall the price of the
1541, but I'm pretty sure it was at least $250. But the original comment was that the complete C64
system cost more than
a complete A][ system in Germany; US prices are irrelevant.
Ah, I thought Max was refering to US systems.
