The Motorola 68000 series of microprocessors was used in all Amiga models from Commodore.

Soon after, BBS software was being written for all of the major home computer systems of the late 1970s era-the Apple II, Atari, Commodore and TRS-80 being some of the most popular.

This was fixed later, when Commodore changed the vendor of the drive mechanism ( Mitsumi ) and adopted the flip-level Newtronics mechanism, greatly improving reliability.

The Commodore 1570 was an upgraded 1541 for use with the Commodore 128, available in Europe.
