The 1570 was released by CBM for the C128, at the time the 128 was released,
the 1571 was not ready to be sold to the market. The 1570 is a single sided
1571, in a 1541 case with a 1571 controller. Has all the functions of a 1571,
except, obviously only single sided. Here in Oz, they're pretty rare, but
fairly common in the US & Europe.

cheers,
