I have a Batteries Included BusCardII, and was wondering if it was possible to connect it up to my C128, and print through it in C128 mode. There is a clip that attaches to a resistor (R44) on the C64. What would be the corresponding connection on the 128? Thanks for the help! -Ron Kyker kykerr@jacobs.CS.ORST.EDU.UUCP PS: Could someone send my a copy of the latest version of Desterm? Thanks again.

The BusCard works by swapping C64 ROM and ROM inside the BusCard, depending on what you want to do. I believe on the 128 it starts swapping 128 ROM with BusCard ROM, which does not work. In any case, experience says that it does NOT work. By the way, the wire is not necessarily vital to C64 operation. It only allows ROM paging to be done "correctly," and will not usually affect BASIC programs and the like. -- jgreco@csd4.csd.uwm.edu Joe Greco at FidoNet 1:154/200 USnail: 9905 W Montana Ave PunterNet Node 30 or 31 West Allis, WI 53227-3329 "These aren't anybody's opinions."
