I am a new owner of a 64--bought it for next to nothing. Presently I am
debating whether to go ahead and buy a drive for it or not. (yes, I know
I should). I have seen seen two alternatives to the 1541 drive: The Blue
Chip, which was very reasonably priced; and (I think) the Rana Systems drive.
I have heard grumblings about the Atari version of the Rana systems drive.
    The bottom line is, how do either of them stack up against the original?
Are there any other alternatives that I haven't encountered yet? I really
don't want to divert a lot of money into this system, and away from my
major computer purchase (an Amiga 2000). Any help, advice, opinions, slander
or otherwise would be appreciated.
     
Thanks,
Hal
