Hi, Thank to those who responded to me on the subject of choosing the right disk drive for my C64 (83/84) i.e. a 2nd disk drive. An interesting subject popped up in of the mails I received. Maybe I should get a REU instead of a 2nd disk drive ! As far as I know, there are 1700, 1750, 1764 (?). From some of the previous articles in here, it seems to me that an old C64 does not usually work friendly with a REU. Is that true ? Also, many people mentioned about putting a wire here and there to make it work ! But, is there a REU which is fully compatible with my old 64 and does not require hacking ? What is its memory size and price ? Will it work 100% with all the software or only 90% (just like a commercial copy program, ha ha) ? What are the pros and cons to have a REU as opposed to a 2nd disk drive ? Thanx in advance ! <Patrick Wong> pcw@squid.tn.cornell.edu
