I believe the cassette drive was even slower if I remember correctly.
I still have two working C64's, a VIC-20, a Commodore floppy disk drive and a third party floppy disk drive, and a working cassete drive as well as many C64 games all stored in the garage. Ancient History. I'm not sure if the game disks work anymore as the magnetic information has probably deteriorated somewhat.
Oh, and do y'all remember the copy protection code cards?
