I will be building a Diskbuddy64 for my Commodor64. This little device will allow me to connect my modern PC to my Commodore 1541 disk drive.
Special thanks and all the credit goes to Stefan Wagner for this project.

I love my DiskBuddy64, and just used it to make 3 disks today! I especially love how FAST it is. It writes something like a fastloader to the 1541 when you first connect it, so every format/write/read is much faster than it would be normally. It’s a much less expensive option than the 1541 simulators on the market, and I like using my real disks. I’m happy you are making these for people.

The 1541 disk drive. I had to make a Capsella Science toy into a fan with two AA batteries to stop the thing overheating when I put disk B 'TOWN' in to enter a city in Exodus Ultima III. Oh the memories. Go near town, change disk, connect lead on batteries and let fan spin up, Move onto the town square. Pray... Good times Why didnt you show it in operation?

For starters, its packed away. Secondly, when i decided to make these i got a tad bit in a hurry and fried my U2 CIA chip. I can make a video using this device, but i can't actually use the disks on my C64 at the moment :(

what is the flux for? Is it so the components don't slide around as much or is there another purpose for it?

From wikipedia: In soldering metals, flux serves a threefold purpose: it removes any oxidized metal from the surfaces to be soldered, seals out air thus preventing further oxidation, and by facilitating amalgamation, improves wetting characteristics of the liquid solder. Basically it allows the solder to flow and adhere to the parts smoothly. Otherwise the solder will bead up like water droplets. Best way to think of flux is as a surfactant.
