   right, i misspoke about 1571, it is the first version and uses just iec power   
   cord.  but it won't power up.  I have book on trouble shooting and repairing   
   C64, but since I now have three working 128s, fixing the C64 work will be on   
   back burner, as will    
   troubleshooting the 1571.  First order of business I guess will be to convert   
   all the physical floppies to d64, and get the ram expansion running with GEOS.
