RA>That's been tried in the past, due to all the problems people have with
 RA>X1451. He never answers.
 
 Bummer :(  Another choice - the bloke who wrote the c64 emulator for the
messy-dos machines apparently also wrote a program to talk to the 1541 from
the pc. I just hope this isnt the same guy who wrote x1541 (: (I dont think
so but not sure..)

 RA>Then you're starting to get into writing an operating system at the PC
 RA>end - we just want something to do simple decoding of file requests
 RA>from the 64 (at least initially).
 
 Ah I see. Well you've got to crawl before you can run so thats a good
start (: Hows the hardware going? You opting for the rs232-64 serial
converter or a parrallel version?
 
 RA>:)  After all, a cheap PC with hard disk is far cheaper than a CMD HD!
 
 Very true, but CMD still make great 64 products (:
