- Absolutely. unfortunately, the "shareware" version is useless... but the
- program is definately worth buying! I have a friend who got it, and mines
- in the mail. It comes with a cale to hook your 1541 up to the serial port
- of your PC, and a program to port the files directly to! He ported his
- collection of 300+ floppies onto a hard drive, and most of them work
- beautifully. It's a great emulator. the only thing is, GEOS is pretty
- useless when you have a Windows PC (smile) but SID music is cool! It
- emulates SID perfectly through your sound card. (yay!)
-
- I still have my 64 on the table, but use the PC... 'cause the main
- advantage?... speed! hehehehhehehe.
