Hmmmmm....that don't sound too good!  All I can say is that I ¨haven't had
a problem with either the x-modem 1k or z-modem.  I know ¨that N.Rossi's
z-modem driver will only recieve....not send.  It ¨could be that your
parameters aren't set up...or that your ¨configuration on the BBS needs
adjustment...If you'd like, I'll put ¨a config file for novaterm 9.5 on the
comms menu, and you can try ¨that!
 
AM> 2. I've heard that you can connect a hard drive to a
AM> C64/128. Is this possable, and if so could you please supply
AM>  
That's a project i've heard of before...all I can say is that I know
¨Nuuuusing at all about it!   I know Lewin Edwards over at ZWBBS is
¨interested in doing the same thing.  If I see or hear ¨anything...I'll get
back to ya.
 
AM> 3. When I download software from Network BBS, some of the
AM> files seem to locate themselves at memory location $1c01
AM> instead of $0801, is this also a bug with my copy of
AM> novaterm 9.5 and 9.4 or is is that they are stored
AM> incorectly on the BBS? I noticed this to happen with
AM> Novaterm 9.5 when I downloaded it and also a few other
AM> proggys.

Ye gads!  we can't have that!   I can't see it being a problem from ¨this
end, but it gives be a clue as to what could be going ¨wrong...from
novaterm it's best to work with translation OFF on GeoZ ¨BBS...along with
most C=64 support boards.  If you translate a c64 ¨file...not suprisingly,
it'll die a death!
 
AM> 4. Where can I get a swiftlink cart.? I was refered to a guy
 
hmmm...yeah they're a bit hard to get hold of secondhand as people ¨tend to
hang on to 'em.  Sometimes (rare!) they turn up on the ¨micro-mart pages of
"Commodore Network"...but don't hang around too ¨long! NOVO are
probably your best bet, as they're the official CMD ¨distibutors in Aust
(PO BOX 237  Mayfield  NSW  2304 ¨ph-(049)602-082.  Note that there is a
file kicking round that shows
you how to build a similar interface based on a 6551 UART, I've got ¨it
somewhere if you're interested
