Double the Storage, Half the Hassle – A Modern Take on Commodore Disk Expansion
Introducing the Commodore 1582, a professionally assembled dual 3.5" floppy disk drive built for the C64 and C128. Inspired by the legendary 1581, this dual-drive unit gives you two fully independent 1581-compatible drives in a single, clean enclosure—powered by one IEC cable and one power supply.
Perfect for developers, archivists, and users tired of constantly swapping disks, the 1582 allows true dual-drive workflows: copy between disks, run multi-disk applications, or use one drive for data and the other for boot or utilities. It's plug-and-play, no hacks or switchboxes required.
Internally, each drive is built on a separate 1581 logic board—powered by high-quality COREi64 PCBs designed by Thomas Christoph—each running its own BIOS and pre-installed with JiffyDOS for blazing-fast access.
Features:
Two fully independent 1581-compatible drives in one enclosure
Runs off a single IEC serial connection—no daisy-chaining required
One power supply powers both drives for cleaner setups
Both drives feature standard 3.5" double-density (DD) floppy mechanisms
The back of the drive has two switches that set the address of each individual drive. Either drive can be set to device number 8, 9, 10, or 11
JiffyDOS pre-installed on both drives for enhanced speed
Internally isolated and addressable as Device 8 and Device 9 (configurable)
Compatible with GEOS, CP/M, JiffyDOS, and all standard Commodore software
Professionally assembled, tested, and enclosed in a sturdy, vintage-inspired case
Includes a new power supply, IEC serial cable, and 1581 utility/bonus disk set
Shipping Info:
Boxed dimensions: ~12" x 9" x 5"
Shipping weight: ~4.5 lbs (2.04 kg)
Ships from the USA with tracking and protective packaging
Why Choose the 1582?
Forget drive swapping. The 1582 is a productivity powerhouse that offers the flexibility Commodore users have wanted for decades but never officially received. Whether you're developing software, duplicating disks, or building the ultimate retro desk, the 1582 gives you speed, storage, and style—all in one smart box.
