Commodore 1565 floppy drive recreated for the MEGA65 project | MEGA

Here at MEGA one mission is to preserve or even recreate objects, knowledge and code from the short but fragile digital history of mankind, save them and their creators from being forgotten and lost in oblivion. This time we enjoy to not only revive a very rare and widely unknown piece of hardware from the famous Commodore universe, once completed this object will also be a valuable addition to our famous 8-bit computer, the MEGA65, which itself is a recreation of the abandoned Commmodore 65 with modern features and enhancements: The Commodore 1565 floppy drive. This is a first 3D printed case version, designed for the MEGA65 project by Claudio Sánchez (Tokafondo) from Gran Canaria, Canary Islands and photographed by our brilliant Martin Streit.
