What are "Inner Space Anthologies"?  Never heard of this before...
Some sort of CBM mag?  If so what range of computers (c64, AMIGA, PET?)
Euro or American or not?  What years?

do tell...

man.. This is pissing me off!  every time I try to send a message that
has more quoted text than my reply (if by a word or two) the damn thing
refuses to take it...  My Email address may be changing very soon if this

Just curious...

Will the SwiftLink cartridge work with the Plus4?

Also, has anyone written a decent terminal program for the Plus 4?
Where can I get one?

   Some personal notes which will hopefully be of some interest to fellow
"Commies".


   Firstly, a buddy in Arizona is helping me out with some new hardware, =
which
means that I'll be able to put the Commodore telnet BBS back up very soon.
I'll post the address when it goes back up.

   Also, I just got done with a massive set of pages dedicated to Commodo=
re
BBS programs.  It includes seperate pages for some 25+ BBS programs, comp=
lete
with details reviews, some documentations, and where appropriate, some=20
downloadable programs.

   Lastly, my Commodore page is expanding as well-- within the week I'll
have a new page off my Commodore page which will be a kind of "strouds" s=
ight
for Commodore users-- every PD and shareware program Commodore users must
have.  There will also be something there for GEOS users, and some misc P=
D
programs.  They are all on HTML pages, which means you need need to use L=
YNX,
or if you have a PEE-SEE, Netscape is preferable (where the heck is that
"WAVE" thing?!?!)

   The address for my Commodore page is http://www.swt.edu/~ez13942/commi=
e
   The address for the BBS programs page (which is also a link off my
    Commodore page) is http://www.swt.edu/~ez13942/bbs

    The new pages will also appear as links off my Commodore page, so kee=
p
your eyes open.

  Lt. Kernal drives are also being made available by a gentleman here in
the United States.  I will have to get the phone/address off of CommNet, =

  Just so you know, there are plenty for sale.  Not knocking CMD.  Great
drives, but there's always someone selling something, and CMD drives are
no exception.

> P.S. I'm NOT connected in any way with CMD, just a satisfied customer!

  I personally love my Lt. Kernal; but the CMD is indeed a great drive;
particularly if you want to do GEOS!

You don't need the Swiftlink on a PLUS/4. The Swiftlink is for the
64 and 128 because they do no have a real UART chip, only a software
emulation. The PLUS/4 has a real UART chip on the User Port RS-232=20
setup.

True.  But have you considered that you might spend more time playing

There is the freeware Server64, that however has some bugs that aren't
very nice. You can get it from ccnga.uwaterloo.ca somewhere.=20

The best thing about Server64 is that it behaves just like a normal
drive, you just LOAD"$",8 and get the directory of the PC.

Then there is the commercial 64Net, which needs a wedge to be loaded
on the Commodore. According to some sources, however, the author is
working on a version that will work directly without a wedge (like
Server64). When that comes out, I think I'll buy it.

Isn't the fuse in the C64 related to the sound and userport? I remember
one time a C64 lost sound but everything else worked except userport, and=
 it was
the fuse then.

the author (in a game programming magazine from last year) that it is rat=

   I've seen it all in GEOS I thought.

   Well, actually I've seen this too, come to think of it.

   Couple of possibilities:

1.   The new joystick from CMD will freak out your mouse if plugged in th=
e
      other port.

2.   The mouse will freak out if your SID chip is going bad.  It's typica=
lly
      first part of that chip to go.

3.   Your mouse could be dirty?  (if it's a 1351, that's probably not it=20
      though-- those damn things repel dirt I think, but check it out).


   That's it.  I would firstly make sure nothing is in the other joystick
port, then try your mouse in something besides GEOS to see if the problem
follows the mouse around.  I will almost guarentee you the geoCable is
not at fault, but I'm not sure how PP-LQ works.  Is it a driver of some
sort?  Remove them all the same and see if that fixes it.  Next, clean
your mouse.  Lastly, start worrying about the SID chip.
