Maybe this is digging up the past, but I am experimenting with
IEEE-488 interfaces to the C64 for disk drives. I need help.
I am aware of the following interfaces:
Interface Maker Load+ Save+ Features
--------- ----- ---- ---- --------
BuscardII BatteriesIncl 27 27 Cart pass-thru, printer,device switches
G-Link Transactor 13 11 * Serial/IEEE488 switch, no passthru
MSD CEI MSD ? ? ** Cart Pass-thru
Quicksilver Skyles ***fast fast C64 and C128/64 versions (ROM change)
+ BASIC LOAD and SAVE on C64 and a fresh 9090 Harddrive: 99 blk PRG file
* How do I access the serial-bus devices when in IEEE mode ? Switching modes
often causes a lockup. A Serial <-> IEEE copy program is available.
** What SYS to enable the MSD interface? Does it work with non-MSD drives?
*** What is the speed of this interface ? Does it work with FLASH! ?
Do any co-exist with a serial-bus drive Speedup (FastLoad, JDOS) ?
Does anyone have a Quicksilver for sale cheap ?
After I have my fun, does anyone want to buy a 9090 7.5M harddrive ?
(How do I change (hardware or software) the device number on a 9090 ?)
Help/comments ? ....BJ att!mtgzz!bjh
