Floppy Drive Oceanic OC-118 (aka Excelerator+) Boxed
The Oceanic OC-118N Floppy Drive is a perfect clone of a Commodore 1541/1541-II Floppy Drive.
Il punto di forza di questo Floppy Drive e’ la compatibilita’, direi quasi totale con tutto il parco software disponibile per Commodore 64 compresi ovviamente fastLoader/software orignale.
Esistono due modelli di OC-118N.
Il modello con tre dip switches e il modello con due dip switches.
La differenza tra uno e l’altro modello sostanzialmente e’ la ROM ; JIFFYDOS con Licenza (tre dip switches) / R-DOS -ROX-DOS ? (due dip switches).
Tra i due modelli ci sono anche delle differenze sulla parte meccanica (vedi foto) inoltre sembra che sul modello a tre dip switches manca l’adesivo frontale (non confermato).

i have two of these.
i guess the bottom steel plate was cut by hand. one is 3-4 mm
wider at the front while it’s perfect at the end.
it was possible to attach paralell cable to it. took 15 seconds to copy
a disk with 256k extra ram in cartridge port.
the single drive led had 2 colours (or more) and programs and demos
made it flicker real nice. compatible with drive music too. :)
most computer magazines back then said it wasn’t 100% compatible
with commodore drives but i had no problems with it, mind you all
games were pirated.
