Great games all... especially the first and the third.  A modernized 16/32

What has happened is you are reading ASCII characters, and the
translation is reversed.  Try answering YES to PetASCII, then
read the file and see what happens.
I just sent in for my upgrade to 4.01, and am anxious to see how it
differs from 3.1.  Enjoy!

	I have owned an SX-64 for many years (7 in fact) and i have 
just gotten my first modem (commodore 1660 / 300 bps). (hey! it was 
free!) anyhow, i plug it into the back of the SX and plug the phone 
cord into the in jack, and the phone in the out jack.  I boot up the 
terminal program (kermit 2.2) and then dial the phone number to the 
300 bps modems connected to the mainframe on school with the phone.  
The mainframe answers and I hear a high pitched beep on the phone.  
I assume this is the carrier signal.  However, when i type connect, 
the modem (seemingly) does not acknowledge the carrier.
	Help! I'm very new at modems.... can anyone offer any
possible help for me?  Thanks in advance.

thinking about purchasing one for my C64.  Also if I buy the cartridge,
do I need to buy another modem or is it built right in.

	A request for those who wish to wallow in nostalgia...

	I have recently acquired a couple of old CBM machines (which
look like PETs, but don't have "PET" anywhere on the casing) - a model
3032 and a model 4016, plus a 2031 disk drive, Commodore cassette, and
Commodore 4022 printer. Unfortunately there are no manuals with them
at all :-( 

	Could some kind soul let me know what commands I need to
use to save and retrieve files from disk and cassette? Are the
commands for saving and loading BASIC files the same as for m/code?
Printer commands would be handy too...

	I'm also on the lookout for a simple word processing program
and other utilities - either in BASIC or m/code, so if anyone has
recommendations, examples, or pointers, I'd be interested to hear from
you. I'd also like some manuals, so if anyone knows where I can get a
set... (the more local the source is, the better for me :-)

	I must admit that these machines are not exactly the sort I'm
used to :-) Any help would be appreciated. By the way, does anyone
know if it's possible to move memory chips from one machine to the
other? 


Roger.

The first talking one I had was Ghostbusters, which, of course, simply
said "Ghostbusters!  Ah ha ha ha ha!"  I thought Ghostbuster's intro
screen (playing the music with a bouncing ball going over the lyrics)
was pretty awesome, at that time.

I just purchased BIG-BLUE-READER($35) which came with a 5 1/4" disk for use
on a 1571.  It is supposed to accept SPEEDSCRIPT files directly, which it does
but I was dismayed to find that it did not provide word-wrap and split words 
apart at the end of 80 columns....hardly a useful program.
   FORTUNATELY, I found an alternate way which is not described in their   
instructions. After loading SPEEDSCRIPT 3.2  I pressed CTRL-3 and a
lower case a (As described in S.S. instructions to put everything in the
True ASCII mode) and typed in any text as usual.  But do NOT save to Disk with
the usual F8, but rather use the PRINT option  as described in SS instructions.
 i.e. SHIFT-CTRL-P  (also CTRL-P is mentioned) and then select the "Disk"  
option.  Then after loading BIG-BLUE (version 4.0 .......advertised in 
NOV/DEC "RUN" magazine), choose #1 transfer mode, select "add line feeds",
"No" to PetASCII-TrueASCII question.  Everything turns out properly when read
on an IBM PC. However, when you read the IBM disk on your commodore, with the
"none" option, for some reason the upper and lower case are reversed.

  The reason you can't connect is that Kermit v2.2 (and
all versions, I think) doesn't work with the 1660 modem.
That's accroding to page 3 of 'kermit.doc'.  "Almost
any modem will work except the Commodore 1660."

  I recommend you trash the 1660 and invest in a Hayes...

I used to hate with a passion a friends APPLE II+ that he had.

The damn thing did not even have upper and lower case letters without
some add-on card.

80 Column cards for the 64 exist and were reasonably priced and they plugged
in to the expansion port.

As I remember it, when the C64 was released in Canada it cost $895.

A basic model APPLE II+ was $2000.

The later Apple II's are still over-priced underachievers, but like
anything else, if put in the right hands with the right goals they
can all be quite usable.

	Hi everyone.  I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this
question, but here goes.  At some point in the future, I'll have to upgrade
from my 8-year-old C128 (which, God bless its silicon soul, has never given
me a day of trouble, even when the plumber dumped several gallons of water
on it) to some more modern, more powerful computer.  Now, I have a Star
NX-1020 Rainbow printer, which I have connected to my Commie with a
SuperGraphix (or however you spell that thing) interface.  Is this a
PARALLEL printer interface, or a SERIAL printer interface?  All I know is
that my printer has a Centronics port, so I have to use an interface to use
it with my computer.  But the guy at the computer store (I'm leaning toward
Mac, but it's irrelevant anyway since I don't have the money to buy anything
now anyway) said that that is only the kind of port and doesn't tell whether
the printer is parallel or serial.  Does anyone know which this printer is?
And just so I know, is the SuperGraphix interface a parallel -> Commodore
interface, serial -> Commodore interface, or both?  (As you can tell, I'm
clueless.  I know the difference between a parallel and a serial printer in
terms of the general means by which the data is transmitted, but I haven't a
clue how to tell if something is parallel or serial...)  Thanks for your
help/input...

Did I mention my 1750's chips are socketed?  Yep, they're really easy to take
out and put back in.  What I meant in my original post was that I didn't know
what the part number for those chips were.  They had those numbers on them, but
I did not know which of those numbers was the chip design number.  I'd need
that before ordering or going to any Rqadio Shacks anyway.  They tend to look
at you strange if you go in and say you need something without a part number.

It'll be downright impossible to get games like Space Taxi and stuff like that. 
The only way to get them is through piracy - finding people and trading, I
guess.  But do remember it is highly illegal.   :)

My favorite games were the sports simulations - remember Hardball?  Accolade
made other versions for other computers, but none were as fast as the C-64
version - yeah, that sounds dumb, but it was true.  When Tompkins threw that
"FASTBALL!", I was a gonner.

Recently I 'put' a file onto ccocun.caltech.edu called "qe128". It's in the
INCOMING directory and is a text handler come disk utility which some of us
here in Christchurch NZ found useful. It's coompatible with RamLink and
JiffyDos, too.
But, alas it doesn't work! Why? Because when downloaded, the file ends
at $69FF instead of $6800, and there is code that checks the end of file
at $1210 and calculates a SYS address from that. Because the file is the 
wrong size the SYS is wrong and the program crashes into the monitor.
So, what did I do wrong and how can I fix it?

The program will run if the end address is corrected to 6800 and re-saved
but thats a big hassle.

I used PUNTER to transfer the file from my 128 to PC... then Zmodem to
upload it to where I could ftp the file to ccosun. I also selected the
binary option.
Apologies to anyone who took this file to find it was faulty.

Cheers - Kirk

  You can do it two ways.  There is a laserjet driver (serial or
parallel must be chosen) which I use, with the Epson emulation
cartridge disengaged.  Or you can plug in the Epson cartridge and use
an FX80 driver.  I have not found any difference in quality or speed
although in theory the laserjet driver should be faster.  The deskjet
uses the same HPL language as Laserjets.
