I never heard of opencbm until now, thanks for talking about it.

I'll see what Results come up in a Search on ask.com about it and see
what opencbm is all about.

C=64, 1541 and 1581 is my gear.

I remember reading about the Cables a long time ago, but not that
hardware, something else to learn about.

Mine is XP x32.

I've used the MSDOS64 PRG to read SEQ Files and write them to a 720KB
Floppy to use them on XP.

MSDOS64 isn't perfect, unless I add 254 Space Characters after the last
line of the text, the DOS Floppy doesn't get the last Block of the SEQ
file.

Anyone know anything better?

I have a RS-232 Adapter I can hook a Dial Up Modem to and have thought
of trying to make a transfer from the C=64 to the XP box using both
Modems and Bob's Term Pro.

Also heard about a NULL Modem but haven't read anything lately about it
that would cause me to take my thoughts Off the Back Burner and try to
do something like that.

A CBM PRG better than MSDOS64 would suit me if anyone could suggest one
for me to look up.   Thanks!

Hope x32 on XP can be used, I'll find out when I do my Search.
