This is a fun and useful gadget for increasing the space under a Commodore 1541 disk drive.

!!!!ADDED HINT- these riser feet will also fit a C64 breadbin keyboard or a VIC 20 breadbin keyboard making a fully reversible switchable kernal mod to your Commodore system.

The impetus for this design came about for a need to replace a failed disk drive kernal ROM.

Has a great ROM replacement adapter for replacing old style 27c64 ROM with modern day 27cxx equivalents.

I wanted to keep the case as original as I could without any further alterations other than the existing patina.

By raising the drive by about 10mm I was able to mount a dip switch easily to the underside of the disk drive and route the wires thru the ventilation slots.

For my printer the dimensions of these feet were a friction fit. Your printer may print to a slightly different size. Using hot glue will help in securing the feet with the option of full reversal of the modification.

I've attached 2 different heights for different types of dip switches.

One can easily change the height and diameter in the printer driver software if required.
