   I am not sure what kind of technology these C64 1541 drives used but here is   
   something interesting in this article:   
      
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_1541   
      
   It mentions how the upper tracks were not used because they were less   
   reliable !   
      
   I think the same can be said for some... if not all CD-Media... where the   
   upper tracks seem to be of much less quality !   
      
   Be it media quality or burning quality !   
      
   Wow this could actually mean the C64 Disks were more reliable than todays   
   cd/dvd crap ! LOL.   
      
   Will we all be using C64 disks in the future ! LOL ;)
