Yeah, except that these days an Amiga 500 with built in disk drive is $299
-- The same price as a C-64 and a 1541.  Intelligent disk drives cost
$$$...  

I don't think Commodore sells many new 64's in this country.  In places
like East Germany, where 8 bit machines are still all the rage, I think
they sell plenty.

You're right about the programming simplicity -- making a hack robot or
something on a C-64 is a lot easier than doing it on an Amiga, even though
the result will be more limited on a C-64.

Too bad you can't actually execute programs out of that 24 megs, but have
to use it as a RAM disk.  And that 38.4K serial cartridge just added $40 to
the cost.  (Although the unexpanded 64 can do 9600 baud RS-232 one way! :-)

The expansion port lines are connected more or less directly to the CPU. If you
need I/O lines, use the User port or connect a I/O chip like 6821 to the
expansion port.

The Motorola 6821 could be connected as follows:

Expansion port    6821
D0-D7             D0-D7
A0-A1             RS0-RS1
I/O1 or I/O2      /CS2
/RESET            /RESET
/IRQ or /NMI      /IRQA or /IRQB or none or both
+5V               VCC
+5V (via pull-up resistor)        
                  CS0, CS1
GND               VSS
Phi2              E

Then you'll have the 6821 signals PA0-PA7, PB0-PB7, CB1-2 and CA1-2 for the 
outside world. For programming 6821 you'll need its register manual.

If you were just requesting the user port programming, I would like to
recommend Programmer's reference guide. There are so many pins and so many
possibilities like the fast serial transfer.

Feel free to e-mail me and ask more.

Actually, 2400 baud full duplex "only" eats up 40-50% of the avalible CPU
time on the 64.  It's putting it on the screen that eats up the rest of the
time. :-)  2400 baud in 40 columns is trivial, in 80 columns it gets hard.
I've seen a 64 do 4800 full duplex in 40 columns -- I think that's really
the limit for a 64 w/o a Swiftlink.  Of course, 9600 single duplex it
readily doable too, if you're just dumping something to a printer.

Yes and no.  I once created a disk that used tracks 17-19 for the
directory.  I had to do all the work by hand, and then found that DOS
does *not* understand directories that are not on track 18 very well.
It will read them okay, but it will not properly create files in the
modified directory.  It might be true that the files can be properly
created if the new directory sector is on track 18, but that's not very
useful.  I recall write-protecting the disk after I created it, so that
it wouldn't eat itself.  :)

I also found that a disk with 300 files on it is deathly slow,
especially when looking for files near the end of the directory.
Even using a wider sector interleave (such as 9, which usually helps)
was not very helpful.

So, the answer is:  Yes, it can be done, but it's not worth the effort
due to compatibility problems and slow access times.

These silly MS-DOS and UNIX machines are usually happer when <CR>s have 
linefeeds following right behind them.  What you'll need to do is 
somehow put a linefeed in there...like this:
 
10 input"file to convert";f$
20 input"new filename";n$
30 iff$=n$then10
40 open2,8,2,f$+",s,r"
50 open2,8,3,n$+",s,w"
60 fori=0to1
70 get#2,a$:i=st
80 ifa$=chr$(13)thena$=a$+chr$(10)
90 print#3,a$;
100 next
110 close3:close2
 
It's slow, but it will get the job done.

Note:  I don't have the CBM version, but do have the Atari 2600 (ack!) version,
       I am assuming that the maps are the same.

I'm not sure what you mean by left... I generally think of it as
left-middle-right.  To get to the middle from the right (where you come in at)
you basically have to go as far down on the really long ladder as you can (past
some poison toads).  To navigate the middle (a big cavern with bats flying high
overhead, water just beneath you) wait for the bat to fly off the screen, and
balloons should start drifting by overhead.  Jump up and grab one.  To let go,
you need to work it so that a bat pops the balloon (or you bump into the
ceiling).  To get to the left part, come down from the balloon on the left side
of the cavern, and again keep going down until just above the water.

If you're stuck where I think you are (where I was when I first got the game)
then you're waiting for the balloons and haven't found anything other than gold
yet.  The diamond and girl are on the left side of the middle (you have to jump
from a right-hand ledge and bounce just right to get the diamond), the cat is
way at the top of the left (get good at ducking under condors and bats!)

I have though about some cool (I think) prjects for the 64.  It has been a while

What do think about ...

A cheap input/output board for the 64?  (How cheap and what specs do ya want)
LCD interface for the 64 ?  (640*200*4 gray scales)
Multi CPU network ?
Interface to the IBM
Intercface to the MAC
C64 Emulator for Windows in IBM ?
LAPTOP 64?
IBM keyboard interface (I know, Joel Kolstad already di one, but I never got
the source for the 8751 chip)
Color for the PET series (and bitmapped graphics) ?
Serial port for the PETs ?
Anything for the PETS ?
Anything for the C16 ?
Anything for the +4
VIC to 64 hookup of some kind ?

I dunno, you tell me. What peaks your interest.  Mind you, I would rather not
delve into MIDI, SCSI, or anything that big, but ot would be a challenge.

Okay, I tend to remember a guy on one of the BBSes I was on did something like
this...
 
First he wrote a small BASIC program to save junk files to the disk. These
files were simply a copy of the program itself. But he made 144 of them (to
fill up the directory track completely).                                      
                       
Then he proceeded to copy track 18 to 17 (of course it
didn't come out perfect 288 files, I think it gave more like 250 or so). He
then sent a s0:* command to DOS. After it took its five and half hour to delete
the files, he then went and connected the last block of 18 to the first block
of track 17. He then modified one of the entries in block 18,1 to be a program
which took up track 17 starting at 17,0.

I don't know if validating that disk would kill it or not, but I do agree that
it would run slow as can be. BUT if you need a LOT of little files, slow may be
fine in exchange for $100 to go buy a 1581 or even an SFD.

I hope someone out there can try this. I would, but my 64 is right now packed
and ready to return to St.Louis after being in this cow farm WAY too long! ;)

I would be very grateful if someone could take on this task for me. Had I
a 1581, which I will buy soon, with big blue reader to do a particular
conversion (my university uses PC's connected to the network), I would not
have a problem.

But as it stands, I've just grabbed some files  - geostechref1.arc, 
geostechref2.arc and geostechref3.arc from the ftp site  ccosun.caltech.edu
under the directory /pub/rknop/geos/programmer. Since these
files are encoded in PETSCII format, I am unable to read them at my UNIX
terminal. Guess what I'm going to ask? 

Could some kind soul convert these files to ASCII format, so I can read them
from my UNIX terminal as well as print them? I could e-mail you the relevant 
files to avoid the use of ftp to get them.

Re your msg about printer cable - (Sorry can't get quoting to work!),

I'm not sure when the following information originated, but the author
was Ken Wallace. I've made a number of these geoCables and no-one has
reported any problems. It also works with programs that  give a CENTRONICS
output option (Easyscript is one), and Action Replay Cartridges. There is
a progam which lets the normal serial port data use this cable, so an
OPEN4,4,7:PRINT#4 is also possible. GEOS needs special printer drivers.

Article by Ken Wallace follows;

I've done a little experimentation and have come up with the connections
required to construct a geocable.  The table below shows the pin connections
for the user port, the centronics connector found on parallel interface
printers, and for the db-25 connector of the ibm-pc parallel port type.
I include the last because the cable (centronics to pc db-25) is commonly
available.Instead of making a cable, I used a cable for a pc and made an adaptor to
plug it into the c64's user port.  The adaptor consists of a user port
connector and a db-25s glued to a small piece of circuit board, with wires
run between the two connectors.
