Back with the 4040: as usual the drive is a dual CPU system. The second CPU is a regular 6502. One processor handles the IEEE488 bus and DOS routines, while the other is dealing with the GCR encoding and talking to the drive mechanisms.
On the 1541 this is all reduced to one CPU.

Soo… I have gotten another CBM dual drive floppy disk. A model 4040, which uses regular 48tpi single sided drive mechanisms. It was sold to me as defective. The owner bought it used 40 years ago. And after a long time in storage that device was not reading disks anymore. Let us start the process of reviving this beauty, ok?

Oh shite, I was wrong.

Chris has a #CommodorePET at home and a thumping big hard drive. Wait for it, Chris is writing #software in Commodore #BASIC, an “expert system” for ‘House Planning’. Expected time to completion?

Three months to write the code; Three months to populate the (database) system to make it useful.

Hack Chris, Hack

It doesn't look quite right on a 16:9 HDMI display with a 16 by 16 font. It lacks the pixellation and CRT blurring. And the cursor is wrong. So @ColinHaynes still has the better. (-:

But it's not bad for a non-X11 framebuffer Unicode-capable terminal emulator on a #RaspberryPi running #NetBSD with the #CommodorePET and BBC character sets.
