RARE UNIQUE Commodore CBM 8050 Dual IEEE Drive - Powers on - Works! Pet 8032 - $399 - (Liverpool, NS)
Offered here is a unique RARE Vintage Commodore CBM 8050 DUAL Disk Drive that was issued by Commodore in the early 80s. This was the most common business dual drive at the time.This drive was designed to be used with the Commodores 3000, 4000, 8000, 9000 & B series computers. Even a C64 or Vic 20 if you have an IEEE cartridge. As you can see, I tested this with an IEEE cartridge (also for sale) with a Commodore 64. The physical condition of the drive is above average. The outside has a few marks but there are no signs of rust. The inside is very clean also. This particular 8050 is different than others I have seen. Most of these have a single board on top of each drive. This one has 1 board for both drives. I think a RARE variation. Also notice the ceramic chip in the processor board. Also D1 is labeled wrong as D0. Factory error? unsure. The unit powers on fine and completes the self test as it should. I tested the drive to a limited degree. Both drives read a directory and load a program. Drive seems to work fine. These drives are seldom offered, especially in working condition. Because of the nature of vintage electronics I am selling this AS IS Parts or REPAIR. However at time of listing, the drive worked as described. Please bid accordingly. It has been stored in a dry place for many years. May need cleaning or small adjustments to function optimally - unsure. This is a 110v drive. Please check out my other listings. I ship worldwide. Buyer pays shipping. Shipping is estimated. Good Luck!
