Commodore Disk Drive Becomes General Purpose Computer

<div><img alt="" class="attachment-large size-large wp-post-image" height="450" src="https://hackaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Can-a-Commodore-1541-disk-drive-be-used-as-a-general-purpose-computer_-0-32-screenshot-1.png?w=800" style="margin: 0 auto; margin-bottom: 15px;" width="800" /></div><p>The Commodore 1541 was built to do one job—to save and load data from 5.25″ diskettes. [Commodore History] decided to see whether the drive could be put to other purposes, though. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=6loDwvG4CP8" target="_blank">Namely, operating as a standalone computer in its own right!</a></p>
<p>It might sound silly, but there’s a very obvious inspiration behind this hack. It’s all because the Commodore 1541 disk drive contains a MOS 6502 CPU, along with some RAM, ROM, and other necessary supporting hardware. As you might remember, that’s the very same CPU that powers the Commodore 64 itself, along with a wide range of other 1980s machines. With a bit of work, that CPU can indeed be made to act like a general purpose computer instead of a single-purpose disk controller.</p>
<p>[Commodore History] compares the 1541 to the Commodore VIC-20, noting that the disk drive has a very similar configuration, but less than half the RAM. The video then explains how the drive can be reconfigured to run like the even-simpler MOS Technology KIM-1 — a very primitive but well-known 8-bit machine. What’s wild is that this

Perhaps this is why the Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB drive failed?

A platter on a Seagate 1.5TB disk drive that failed. There's a deep scoring around the centre of the platter and the disk heads appear to be missing. there's a ligh covering of very fine dust across the surface of the disk platter.

An old, decaying floppy disk almost killed one of my drives today. Had to perform some serious head cleaning. Luckily, after almost half an hour of scrubbing, everything seems to be working again. Oh boy...

New video! I'm talking about boot selectors for the #Amiga showing off a DIY method and then trying out the #FireFloppySwap500, which is a super deluxe solution.

Thumbnail for my video, showing a photo of two boot selector devices for the Amiga. On the left, there is a DIY solution with two 40-pin DIP sockets stacked on top of each other that have a DPDT switch connected to the pins with 4 wires. On the right, there is the FireFloppySwap500, a more elegant solution with an electronic switch and an extra PCB for the floppy connector. The overlayed text reads "AMIGA Boot Selectors - DIY & Deluxe".
