- Well, feel free to correct me on thia, but I don't think that it would
- be possible to run any 80xxx seris software on a 64 or a 128, without
- completely re-writing the software, as the machines are too drastically
- different, the main reason being that the 64/128 have there own BIOS
- built in, where as the 80xxx series (and the 80x86's too) load in there
- DOS on boot up... The most logical way to transfer them would just to
- re-write them, the case permitting...
