[news.groups] Burst Mode on C-64 ?

bjh@mtgzz.UUCP (XMRN40000[tls]-b.j.hudson) (05/20/88)

I have a 1581 3.5" Drive to use with a C-64. [for Amiga transfers]
It is capable of fast and burstmode operation with a C-128.
Has anyone seen the Burst Mode U4 ROM replacement for the C-64 from
Chip-level Design ?  I thought hardware modifications were required ?
If it is kernal changes only, might GEOS include C-64 burst-mode in
their yet-to-be-released 1581 support ?        .....BJ
