continues to silently set up two daisychained Commodore 1541 drives
Look at Daddy Warbucks here! I had to make do with a single cassette drive.
Lol, I started out with a Datasette too. I feel the pain.
I used to dream of having a datasette. All we had were two cartridges and whatever I could type in from books or magazines that I could barely read. At bedtime the C64 would be turned off and all would be lost.
Try and tell the young people of today that and they won't believe you.
(We did get a datasette eventually though).
You win the hardcore award. I can only beat this by remembering the few times when I had typed something in for hours and saved it. And then when I went to load it later it would run the tape all the way and throw a LOAD ERROR. At least you knew it was going to go away at night.
