The 1570 was an in-between model released quicky because C= couldn't rpduce 1571s fast enough. It has burst mode and MFM support, but only one head because of the 1541 mechanism it uses. The first cases were brown cases that were painted white and the decal was just a piece of cardboard stuck on in comparison to the metal decal of the 1541. The 1570 actually has a modified 1571 PCB inside. My are these threads getting interesting to the fellow ascii-arters.. :-) ObAscii: ___ | | | | O | |___| 5.25" floppy
