- There is nothing around as yet that will do this via serial, although 64NET
- does it via parallel interface. I was going to make a server like this, but
- found that information concerning the serial port and how it interacts with
- the 1541 was hard to come by.
-
- Even if one made such a program on PC, it would still fall over when
- fastloaders were used, which is the majority of the time these days. I wonder
- if anyone is interested in making a program on PC which connects to the c64
- via the x1541 cable and EMULATES a 1541?? That would be the best!
