My set-up from March 2017

I used to line my vintage computers up so it was easy to pick what I wanted to use when I was in my home office.

Love the double disk C64. Was never sure why people needed 2 disks since most games assume device 8 but it does look cool

It is funny how dual drives on a C64 are pretty useless, but they are almost mandatory on an Apple II 😄

Gotta copy that floppy!

Handy for copying, but also the Apple II had a pretty amazing OS later on (ProDOS). It supported directories and even hard drives up to 32MB. Was something salvaged from the SOS operating system developed for the Apple ///. Apps like Appleworks really are much easier to use with dual drives. Also UCSD Pascal (not ProDOS but its whole own OS in its own right) is borderline unusable on a single disk system.
