- That caught yer attention, eh?
-
- ( X-cuse me 4 my spelling, i am not from around here )
-
- There was some disussion on how to use a hard disk on a c64.
-
- Has anybody thought abaut the following way to do it:
-
- a: make some files on the harddisk off your pc. those will
- be " disks " .
- b: get the pc to emulate a 1541, and use those files.
- c: get the c64 to use the pc as a drive.
-
- Becouse some while ago there was some posting on how to
- connect a 1541 to a pc, it simply must be possible to
- connect the c64 to a pc as well ( using the same connector )
-
- The only problem is the pc programm that will use this
- connector in the right way.
- ( does anyone have the sourcecode off the neat program that
- came with the connector posting? or better yet, will the one
- who wrote it help us out!? )
-
- In this way you don't have to build a complex interface, or
- otherwise do weird things, and it is a flexible dessign,
- becouse you use the pc as a device.
-
- Seems easier than building an interface to the harddisk.
-
-
- Hmm, you could use the pc-printer and even use the pc as a
- printer buffer! ( i kind of like that )
-
- REAXIONS?
