I am looking for any C64/1541 (or 1571) owner using a 50Hz system (outside
of North America) who is willing to test fast serial transfer routines.
Only two minutes of testing will confirm correct/improper operation.  The
test program is fully self contained.  It only needs to be loaded, then
run.  You don't even have to put a disk in the drive.  A single packet is
sent back and forth between the computer and the 1541/71.  This packet is
verified each time it is received to check for any errors in transmission.

These routines are modifications of North American serial routines that
should work in PAL countries.  But since I can't run this test in Canada, I
will need help from somebody in netland.

If you are interested, please reply through E-MAIL.  I will send you the
uuencoded test program (only 1087 bytes after uuencodeing).

Thanks in advance!
