- There is no point in writing something as general as a file transfer
- protocol and binding it to hardware that a few have (few, is less than half
- all existing C64 users). The only hardware that should be considered is
- a 64 and a 1541. Support for 2400 with no swiftlink should be considered.
- 1200 might turn out to be the max.
-
- It may indeed prove to be an impossible task on that hardware.

- I appreciate your position on this, but I think its out of place here.
- Fuzzy Fox isn't someone who gives up because it looks hard. There are
- a lot of reasons that Zmodem hasn't been done on the 64 yet.
-
- I'd still like to see a project like this fly. Does anyone out there
- have the ability to create the custom drive routines Fuzzy Fox was
- talking about? Or does anyone know of existing software which does
- this? (maybe we can reverse engineer something?)
