Eric,
No offense.. But you gotta be nuts.. Those things are selling for less than
half of that price on the average.. And there's no support for them anymore..
Even a brand NEW CMD 40 meg drive can be picked up for that!!
ALL VIEWS EXPRESSED ARE MINE! MINE! MINE MINE! HEHEHEHEHEHE...

If a 1541 is half a meg, what you're saying is that a 1541 is only worth 5.00
That doesn't jive. A HD drive from LtK is worth moe than 125.
You compare apples with pears.Every 1541 has also a power supply and
other mechanical and electrical equipment that makes it more expensive
than $5.00.A HD becomes cheaper the more space it offers.
Also i think $200 for that HD is ok.
If you or someone else sells a HD around $200 then leave e-mail
to ne...@cs.tu-berlin.de.

Then you will be waiting a few years.
Sorry, but Hard Drives for the Commodore cost more than drives for IBMs.
A used 40Megger for the IBM can be found over the Net for around $80 to $100.
Add a controller for $20, and already you are talking $100-$120.
With a 64, there is a seperate controller as well as making the machine an
intelligent hard drive (as Commodore devices are intelligent drives).
Recently I bought a 40 meg ICT hard drive for $250. I admit that was probably
the upper extreme, but still, $200 is a medium price for a hard drive...
Especially a 40 Megger.

Commodore drives won't be coming down in price for a while as there is a
limited number of drives currently. Supply vs. Demand.

Sorry to be off-topic, but, I would be very surprised to see a used
IBM 40meg HD (IDE) selling for $80 to $100... the upper end for used
40meggers is around $50. You can get a brand new 350meg drive for $200
these days...

No burst mode, but then again it doesn't need it. It's not a serial device.
It plugs into the expansion port. And as far as speed goes, it will load a
104 block file in about 2.6 seconds. fast enoguh for me.

When I had the Lt. Kernal drive, it was capable of filling memory in
1 second. I really liked those machines.
