Does anyone here know anything about the ROMs to the Commodore 1591 floppy
drive? The ROM from this prototype was supposedly dumped and sent on to
ftp.funet.fi, but it's not there.

I asked a friend of mine, Steve C, who was once a major CBM collector,
about this. This is what he said:
?
In the mid-90s I bought a '1591' off of someone advertising it in
Micromart, along with an SX-64. Now, I'm not sure if he made it or it
was a genuine Commodore prototype; looking inside it appeared to have
the drive mech from an Amiga 4000, an eprom with handwritten label and
various hand soldered jumpers. I sold it, and some other Commodore
rarities, to someone in Canada around fifteen years ago so I've no
idea where it may be now. I'd assume something so rare is still being
used or at least is in a cupboard, but I can't be any more helpful
than that I'm afraid.
