There are usually two people who look after C-64.

Chiefy - 	I started #C-64 with CBM-BOT.
Cruncher - 	Then arrived with auto-bot who looks after it when i CBM-BOT
		dies.


My new bot includes Demo/Cracking charts, Info on Demo Pardies and results.
All the C-64 ftp sites available, New Euro-Software out in the months. And news
and rumours of whats going about in the C-64 (not U.S). U.S. board numbers
to download warez. This bot should be running shortly.

I don't know about anybody else, but I have tried every way I can think of
to download them suckers.  Maybe it's because I have to go through a Unix to
get them, but I just get a locked up blue screen when I run them.  They
don't even grace me with the .SFX uncrunch screen.  Depressing.

By requiring an REU, you have limited the audience for 'your' product.
What I didn't see was how the compaction compares against .ARC or .LZH
on the Commodore, AND how compatible it is.
Do you have to uncrunch the file to run it, or is it runnable in
crunched form?

	Anchor 1200 baud modem

	hard drive??
	color monitor
	80 columns

Hello all,


	Recently I went to a flea market.  I had only two dollars to my name.

	There, at the flea market, I saw something really interesting.  It,
apparently, was a numeric keypad that plugs into the joystick port.  Originally
it was used on a Vic-20.  Does anybody know what these things were called and
what a reasonable price for one is and whether or not I can use it on my Amiga?

This one took me several days. Do you have a Geomancer in your party
with the map spell (don't know the exact code by now) ? If so, you will
detect, that the maze extends to the north too. The only reason, that the
middle is there, is to distract and tease the player.

	SFX extentions should dissolve on either the 64 or the 128.
It is a self dissolving LZH file. Should just have to load and run it. Unless
the file is somehow corrupted, it should dissolve the proper files to the drive.

Grapevine Group is letting the 1750's go at $99.95.  $31 extra for the 
big power supply if you need it.  Then there's the 1750, which appears to 
be the size of a standard game cart, is available from SSI for $99.95 
also, and requires no larger P/S.  Considering the physical size of the 
clone, I doubt it can be expanded.
 
Second-hand 1750's can be found from as low as $60 to as high as $100, 
median range being $75-80

...or run programs that need to use more than about 48K of RAM at once

running up to, oh, maybe 512K programs...)  The drives will also be faster

The problem with both networking and multitasking is that you have to take
over much of the computer's minimal operating system.  Most productivity
programs don't even use the built in OS, so making that networking or
multitasking compatible with anything is very hard.  (Even replacing the
ROMs, ala JiffyDOS, is only a partial solution.)

Nintendo NES advantage joystick
modified to work with C64/128/Atari, good condtion.
Only Joystick and button A works - sorry, I couldn't design the
whole new circuit board for it, so not all the extra keys
would work.  It works like an arcade joystick - really nice.

The program you want is C64 Kermit 2.2!  This program recognizes when it
is running on a 128 in C64 mode, and it makes use of the 128 keypad and
80-col screen (yes, even in C64 mode!).  This is not really C128 mode,
but so what?  :)

It has VT100, 2400 baud (if you get the speed-patched version), 80col,
and Kermit.  Everything you want.

Hi folks!

Just a while ago, I dusted my old '41, and noticed that it
was out of order: it starts humming, but doesn't know when
to stop. I have this vague idea, that the disk should stop 
spinning and the led should emit some green light... 
I searched for loose wires, components covered with ashes 
etc, but to me it seems to be just fine. Any ideas?

I also downloaded the x1541.exe from an ftp-site, but 
didn't find any documents. I sort of fantasized, I could 
replace my non-functional 1541 with my PC and a few Mbytes
of storage. I still wonder, if such a beast exist.
You know, there are still a couple of good time killers
for c64.
