I have a lab of 8 retired SuperPets. Originally they were networked using a Muppet II to a common disk drive and printer. The last service they saw was as terminals(doing vi) on a MicroVaxII running Ultrix. A THOUGHT: I would like to let my students take these home to use, but with only one drive the other 7 are not much use(except with tape recorders.) QUESTION: Since you can use a 1541 on the parallel port of an AMIGA with THE 64 EMULATOR from ReadySoft Inc. HAS anyone ever seen this done on the old pets? Thanks, Jim Home Phone (716)-366-7323

I've a better question: would there be any interest in a PC-based file server for PETs (and other computers using the Commodore derivation of the IEEE-488 bus)? I've wanted a reason to undertake such a project for a while, but was hard put to find a practical application. Geoff ( watmath!isishq!izot ) I'm not worried, nobody listens to me anyway.
