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.
