It about doubles the cost of the cable. The real reason nothing was done about the RFI was that I had few resources the investiage that type of stuff at the time. I really did not know much about the subject. The same design now would undergo testing. Skyles had (and I think has) *NEVER* registered *ANYTHING* with the FCC. He sells unshielded ram cards for the Amiga series, for example. Any number of his products radiate visibly on the local TV sets. If I did't have some hope that he can still be forced to pay back royalties on my products, I'd probably turn him in. Ironic that using the FCC might prove more effective to halt the unauthorized sale of my designs than the courts. BTW: Have I said it before?

Gosh, you have some after-christmas shopping to do! :-) Texit is an editor that integrates with the CASM assembler (For the C-64). From CASM type !E or some such to jump into it (The file "Texit C64" must be on the disk). >Eric Lee Green elg@usl.CSNET >{cbosgd,ihnp4}!killer!elg DISCLAIMER: It's my distorted viewpoint you're reading. |\ /| .
