Commodore 1571
<storage> Commodore Business Machines's "advanced" disk drive for the
C128. It was the double-sided version of the Commodore 1570 disk drive but,
unlike the 1570, worked quite well.
The 1571 supported "burst mode" loading when used on a C128 in native mode,
which increased the transfer speed from 1541 speed to about three kilobytes per
second (about a 10-fold increase). The 1571 could be told to emulate a 1541 for
use with a C64 or 1541 disks.
Bugs in early releases of the 1571 ROM affected access to the second side of the
disk.
