Actually, there are quite a few, many of them using a system (64READER) that I  
designed and used to market.  I stopped selling it because the software coming  
out was getting trickier and trickier in terms of taking over the whole  
machine and not letting my software hook in; the only way to solve the problem  
would have been to design some rather expensive hardware.  Also, the Commodore  
is no longer the bargain it used to be, what with the price of IBM clones  
coming down.
