Not VicSoft then


[ diary entry ]

I have had this box of 5.25" floppy disk with my VIC20 waiting for a 
rainy day to try them out. Anyway it was so hot in the main room today I 
gave up and decided to give the disks a whirl. I photographed the VIC 
and the white 1541 like special for the event, only to discover the 
disks wont work on the VIC20 as they are for the C64. So what a waste of 
time.

Anyroadup I moved activities to Christine, the C64 that is my workhorse 
and started to go through the disks. I have photographed screen shots of 
the listings plus one or two screens of the actual content and games.

I have to say the Chinese juggler was a hoot and a half.  And all the 
disks worked. Not bad.

That VicSoft box of disks that I thought
was for the VIC-20 .. as you do.

The very yellow but very working
VIC-20 computer that I repaired.

Cassette on 1541 on Acorn 7000

The pack of 5.25" disks which sadly did
not function on the VIC-20.

My white 1541 floppy drive

The yellow but very multicolour VIC-20 logo

A VC-1541 floppy drive

VIC-1110 Expansion Cartridge

The power switch on the VIC-20 is so small
Also the power supply is square unlike the VC-s20

We move to Christine my battle hardened
and over used C64 to test out the disks

This machine really takes a hammering

I am always chuffed when a computer works
so well after I repair it.
