Well, C64+1541+trackloader is already an expansion relying on proprietary hardware, as opposed to “C64+1530” (one-filer).
So? It's the established standard, just like 512+512 KB is on Amiga OCS.
calling the 1541 an expansion.... lol
Yes it is. It’s a standard. No question about it.
It would be interesting to know the ratio of Gideon’s U1541 to real hardware diskdrives in 2026. Of course U64 and C64U should be added to U1541 number. I’m guessing that some people use a real drive only because they have SD2IEC and not U1541, and still want to be able to run big demos.

@groepaz: are you autistic? Please don’t get offended, I don’t mean it as some kind of dumb insult. It’s just that you don’t seem to be able to grasp some analogies and abstractions. Like at all. You only seem to register the literal stuff.

Still seeing my loader pop out the old "WARNING: Buggy 1541U firmware detected. Please update." message at demo compos... says that the ratio is rather high.It would be interesting to know the ratio of Gideon’s U1541 to real hardware diskdrives in 2026
Of course, it wouldn't complain if there weren't actual real-life disk-loading problems to work around.
