- In the not too distant past, someone inquired about a sourse for IEEE
- interfaces, other than those of which I knew off the cuff.
- The other day, I was looking through the lst issue of the Transactor &
- found they were still advertising the G-Link IEEE. It's no longer being
- made, but I have heard it was about as transparent an interface of that sort
- as was available. Don't know off the cuff if it was a 64 mode only item or
- not. If you are still on the market, you might check that option out.

- I have a barely used Flash! IEEE interface I'll sell for $50.00 if anyone is
- interested...

- Does anyone know of a good source for IEEE interfaces? Or at least what the
- protocol is?

- I am looking for a good source for IEEE interfaces. I would also appreciate
- any and all info on the IEEE hardware and protocol ( I might try to home brew
- one)

- For the 64, the ONLY reliable AND transparent IEEE interface was the BusCard
- II. It is no longer being manufactured nor distributed, BUT, when I spoke to
- Batteries Included last week, they indicated that they WILL sell them til
- their supply is gone, direct to users.
-
- The buscard is useless in 128 mode, tho.
-
- For a C-128, you should look at QUICKSILVER 128....it is by far the most
- reliable, transparent AND FAst one out. There are several drawbacks to using
- it, tho...without installing a piggyback board and a switch, you will NOT be
- able to use CP/M. Partner 128 does not work with it. My guess is that many
- things which use the cartridge port will not work properly with it. SixtyFour
- Mode implementation is not as straightforward or as transparent as the
- Buscard, but the interface DOES allow use of both modes of operation, and you
- can turn it on and off easily from handy dipswitches.
-
- I use both of the above IEEE interfaces and am very pleased with them for what
- I need it to do....which is simply to use my SFD's!!
-
- There are/were other 128 interfaces, but they are slow and not very
- transparrent.
-
- Hope this helps...

- My recommended 64 IEEE interface is the no-longer-made Quicksilver 64. If you
- can find one out there for sale used, by all means B price for a used QS64 in
- Phoenix is $75.
-
- The only difference between a QS64 and the IEEE Flash! is the ROM chip. I
- leave it to your imagination on how to convert an IEEE Flash into a QS64.

- Check the Transactor mag, they are making the G-link again, I think for 59.95
- US funds.
