(Why is it I feel silly asking this?) Is anyone aware of or had experience with any hard disks for a C64? I would be willing to pay decent bucks for one so I won't have to flip through boxes of floppies to find programs. Thanks in advance.

Kernal HD, and it's been well received in the marketplace. But banish right now those thoughts of equality in price to IBM hard drives..these things aren't cheap. -- Brendan Kehoe brendan@cup.portal.com | GEnie: B.KEHOE | Oh no!

I was running a BBS on it. A Xetec Lt. Kernal Drive will run you $750 for 20 megs. Seem steep? That's because they're the only people that build them for the C=64 (I believe...the others went belly-up). If you want more info on these, call: (717)454-3694. They are running a BBS on the Xetec 20 meg. ------- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Tony Marasco | UUCP: psuvax1!psuvm!trm900 | | Penn State University | BITNET: trm900@psuvm.BITNET | | Schuylkill Haven Highway | - or - | | Schuylkill Haven, PA 17976 | trm900%psuvm.psu.edu@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU | | "Questions are a burden for others.
