My first was the 16K Extended Color Basic Color Computer with the classic 'Chicklets' keyboard.

If you're like us, you've probably been holding your breath in anticipation since Commodore USA announced its replica of the famous C64. It promised a keyboard PC that duplicated the original's retro-beige finish, with an Atom CPU and an NVIDIA Ion graphics card under the hood. But despite numerous announcements, and even after a cross-promotion with Tron: Legacy, they've yet to ship any products. The latest word from the company has pre-orders shipping next week, in five different varieties, from a barebones chassis and card reader to the C64x Ultimate – an $895 machine that includes 1TB hard drive and a Blu-ray player. If you haven't been teased enough over the past year of delays, hit the video after the break for more preview images.
I might be wrong, but I seem to remember the C1541 as being a 170K drive.
You’re correct.
I recall cutting tabs in the opposite sides and flipping them over.
360K does sound a bit much for 1983.
Me too. The computer stores even started to carry punches that made perfect rectangular tabs. Remember how a C1541 would clatter and bang with copy protected disks?
