Just a test

I was one of the first around with a serial modem at 1200, most were still using the Commodore cartridge modem.

I've been meaning to setup an emulation of the C64 on my linux machine. Just for old times

Gonna be tough, I was gonna try to emulate an Amiga Cnet BBS and have a slip connection in to the board from the net. If we could get two c64's hooked up maybe we could play Archon?

I'll have to do some digging and see what I can come up with on the Linux side

Cool link, jnuts. Something that needs to be fixed on the karma bookie is when you hit submit reply from previewing a post, it doesn't add the event.

Nope, no delete post option on the first post. Good thing, didn't want it to occur in the bookie forum.

I think there's no 'delete post' option at all in the Bookie Forum.

I used to have my Atari ST linked to the C64. I cobbled two printer cables together and then wrote drivers for each end to move data back and forth. One of my friends wrote a 6502 assembler on the ST with no means of moving the data across.

I remember doing 6502 assembler code - it was the only way to make fast game sprites on the C64

The basic was actually pretty fast for what it was; certainly compared with the Spectrum's basic which gobbled up memory and speed on number storage. For any decent speed, though, assembler was the way to go. Technically, it had a 6510 rather than a 6502 because of the IO ports on locations 0 and 1.

A tedious processor to use, though, having to shuffle everything through the Acc and zero-page.
