To answer your questions;
About the C64 - I think it is the most
computer you can get for your money.
As far as the disk drive is concerned:
The fact that it is a serial bus device
does slow it down a bit. It is,
however not objectionably(sp) slow.
This is more than compensated for by the fact that it is an intelligent
device with its own memory and
processor. As far as using it as a terminal is concerned;
This response is being written on a C64
in terminal mode connected to a vax
running UNIX(tm). It does a great job
and you cant beat the price. The
PET emulator also gives you access to a
great deal of software much of which is
in the public domain(aka FREE). I dont
think you would regret getting one.
Good Luck
