Hello, Gaelyne!! 
  
You recently bespoke the following to me ... 
  
-> > that I want to try to run on VICE is stuff that came from LoadStar. 
-> > Those are still copyrighted, so they probably aren't available on the 
-> > net in .d64 format - one would hope, anyway! 
 
-> Not on the net, but if you subscribe to Loadstar, you can receive it in .D64 
-> .D81 format and receive it via Email.  Dave has sent me a few issues this wa 
-> and it's made it very practical to quickly check an issue out with Vice. 
  
  Yeah, Lance was sorta telling me the same thing!  I'll still have to 
figure out which version of VICE that I should use, first - i.e. the 
DOS one or the Windows one.  I'll be running it on my IBM ThinkPad 
laptop, under Win98SE (or DOS, if that's the case). 
  
  Was I correct in what I stated to Lance -- that, if I want to run 
some of the programs from my old LoadStar disks, that I'll have to 
create .d64 images out of those disks, and then port them over to my PC 
using BBR or LRR??  I can do that, it's just that I need to know that 
this is what is necessary, etc. 
  
-> I've even used QWKRR with Vice but gads, I missed my Ramlink!  It wasn't qui 
-> by any means, but I did eventually find out when to turn off full disk 
-> emulation 
-> and when to turn it on. 
  
  LOL!  Yeah, I still have two "real" 128 systems setup over here; one 
"C" and one "D" - and each of 'em has a RamLink
attached.  Maybe, if I 
get brave, I'll try to run QWKRR on the VICE.  [g!]  That effort should 
certainly keep me busy for a while!  [g!] 
  
  Thanks for chiming in!!!  Always nice to hear from a fellow Michigan 
native.  ;-)
