You also have to use the parameter menu as well.

What I did not long after getting Maverick is just boot up the parameters
and then print them all out. There is a selection for it, consult your
manual for particulars.
Each printout list the parameters that are on that disk/side and what
copier is recommended. So now when I need to make a backup I just whip
out the list, search for the name of the program, determine what copier
to use and which parameter disk I will need -- all before I've even
booted Maverick.
Try it!

Subject: Emulator users!
We might get a 386 for free, so I would like to look into the world of
the C64 emulator.
Which emulator will allow me to copy and use all of my C= software on
the PC hard drive?
I have heard that some emulators will not run some C= software (e.g.,
heavily graphics based games, etc.).
Basically I want to be able to put an emulator onto our PC, put ALL of
my C= software onto a PC, and use ALL OF IT with no problem! :-)
I do not want to have to mess with plugging any C= drives into the PC
in order to run any C= software. :-)

Does anyone know of a book of Hardware projects or better
yet someplace on the net I can get info on projects I can build and
hook up to my c64?
Specifically a weather station type project. Thanks

Subject: Hello all
Hello everyone.....
I'm surprised to find a MAILING LIST covering Commodore
computers. They were my very first computers. I bought
the first Vic-20 in Miami, had the ram expander and more.
Actually, I have had most of them, the Vic-20, C-64,
several SX-64 portables, C-128 and C-128D. They were
lots of fun, expecially the multi-mode C-128D that looked
like a PC.
What kind of comps are you guys still using? Do you have
yours rigged up with hard drives? (I knew one company used
to make them for C= comps...
I still have some DEMO MAKER programs. These were
among my favorite C= programs. The make self-running
letters, some with music. Sort of like multi-media
correspondence makers.
I still have some old stuff in the shack, incase anyone
is interested. I think I still have an printer interface
that allowed me to hook up a Panasonic KX-P1123.
Let me know if you folks are interested in any of this
stuff and I'll look around to see for sure...

Personally, I've got a bit of a collection. ;)
I have two ICT hard drives, a few LtK drives, an SFD, a couple 71s,
too many 1541s, and numerous REUs. ;)
Some of us even still runn BBSes on our Commodores. ;) Mine runs Color128.
So there are still alot of active Commodore users still. :) The hardest
part is in finding them...
