  13. Yeah, I guess that's true... but still, it is possible to write software
  14. (maybe even a new kernal) to be able to somehow automatically switch
  15. banks,etc..and in compute's gazzette they had a 1581 Fastloader...WOW!
  16. That think was relocatable to just about anywhere (exept where os resides)
  17. and it was only 3 blocks! Less than 768 bytes! And speed? Heh. Maybe you
  18. should try it! :) Although the IBM is very easy to use, amazing things
  19. could be done with the 64 that most couldn't dream about.
