- It would probly be best/cheapest to interface the c64 to a whole
- computer like a 486dx 33 2mb ram or something with a vga interface, then
- the 486 could act as a dumb server under the c64/128. It might be
- possible to run an emulation (no sound, no i/o) of just video to maintain
- compatiblity, so I suppose you would load the program into memory and it
- would transfer (copy) the data to the other computer and you would get 2
- simultanious displays or you could knock out the emulation program and
- start to get some real power. Of course it would be easier to just make a
- c64 on a card to plug into the 486 or whatnot..
