That disk was a copy of the one I got with my first (new) 1581.  It was an
early release of the drive because I remember getting the Commodore-paid fixes
done on it (I think within a year of the release, it cost me $220? something
like that...

But I assure you it is from an original disk ... (rummaging through the many
piles o stuff in my VERY messy computer room ...wow, I have four flat 128's on
the floor!... AH! found it!)

That's what it says on the label.  :/
