Hopefully you won't run this too often.  Probably the biggest problem
with the original 64 (besides having a poorly shielded video section) was
that the old 1541(?) drives were poorly ventilated, and if you let the
drive heat up enough, the head stop setscrew would loosen up and boom,
your stepper alignment lost its zero on the next boot.
