The Dual 1581 Drive brings you two fully independent 1581-compatible 3.5″ floppy disk drives in one enclosure—purpose-built for the Commodore 64 and 128. Designed for developers, archivists, and enthusiasts who need serious storage, this unit eliminates disk-swapping and enables true dual-drive workflows.
Copy directly between disks, run multi-disk applications, or dedicate one drive to data and the other to utilities. It’s plug-and-play, no hacks or switchboxes required.
