RA>Haven't seen that one, and I thought I had *everything* related to RA>CBM-MSDOS! :) Haha, I thought you did too (: > - 1541 disk drive emulation (uses original 1541 ROM and PC files > for disk images, I have done software for serial transfer of whole > C64 disks to PC) > 1541 disk drive > Emulator uses original VIC 1541 disk drive ROM, which allows to > fully emulate disk drive operations. However, PC floppy units > suck, so the disk contents is placed in a file containing original > floppy image. C64 to PC goes via serial link (a whole disk at a time). The above is copied straight from 'C64TECH.DOC' - the list of technical stuff to do with the emulator. He doesnt get into specifics as to which kind of serial he means ie rs232 or commodore though.. RA>Another person on the internet is opting to use the X1541 cable (which RA>is parallel), but I'm not sure about programming the PC to use the RA>parallel port. Also, since we want to use an Amiga (or anything else RA>with disk space! :) we might chose serial. Well the amiga should be able to access its parrallel/joystick ports just as easily as the 64 can, so shouldnt be a problem, but the serial remains much more 'portable'. Only problem is the serial one needs the commodore-rs232 serial converter whereas the others dont. RA>I agree, and hopefully I'll have an HD in a few weeks! :) A cmd or one of the above pc-jobs??
