- Keep in mind that those ROM calls on the 64 are BASIC routines. The 64 used
- BASIC V2 whereas the C-128 uses V7.0 (I believe). The routines may have
- more than likely been rewritten if not entirely replaced. In all likelyhood
- you will have to find some sort of equivalent routine and maybe even a
- combination of routines to replace the ones on the 64.
