So the serial port operates at about 57600 bps, eh?  Sounds like an ideal
candidate for plugging into the IBM serial port in order to create a 1541
disk drive emulation.  What sort of commands actually come down the serial
port for say 80% of C64 programs?  I guess most of them are just the load
"xxx",8 command.  What would the IBM/Amiga/etc program need to do
do you reckon?  I've got my CMD hard drive already, but I am still
interested in alternatives.  BFN.
