1541 Differences

The 1541 was the ubiquitous floppy disk drive for the C64. The different drive revisions look very similar, but on the inside there are some significant differences. Not only did they use two different manufacturers for the mechanisms. But the mainboards also had multiple revisions, and one particularly snarky little difference in the 1541C, which was only used on some of the drives that could make swapping parts between old drives very difficult.
