Since I don't have FTP access, I wasn't able to respond to this
one.  So, take a chill, and be patient for those that DO have access

You can get the commercial Maverick and transfer between ANY file
format on Commodore including SubDirectories on 1581s.
I have found in PD that NERDCOPY by Ed Parry is very nice for 128 use
except for partitions.

IF you still can't find them,
send me a disk and $1 and I will send them to you, NovaTerm and nerd copy.

Yes, the trick is to have the NORMAL/DIRECT switch set in NORMAL mode.
In direct, the lines to the pass thru port are disabled, so SwiftLink
is not recognized.  You also need a term program that supports the
SwiftLink AND the RAMlink.  NovaTerm 9.4 does it well for the 64. I
don't now about the 128 yet (although the Desterm BETA version works
nicely).

Hello,

I was recently at a friend's house and I saw a game call Starglider being
played on a SEGA game console. The game is put out by EA and looks very
much like a port from an old 8-bit game (possible C64 or Atari etc..)

Has anyone ever heard of this game being available for the C64 or Amiga.
I would like to get a copy for my 8-bit C= computer if it is available.

Thanks

Thanks again. I did get Compute!'s Gazette for years, in fact it was my main
magazine.  I got it for a year in the digest format, but after the section
dwindled to even fewer pages, I let my subscription lapse.  Now I guess I'm
screwed... I have heard of Twin Cities 128, but since it was/is a 128 specific
publication, I figured it'd be a technical mag, something I don't need.  What I
really need is news about new products, hardware and software. along with BBS

Well, I do know that Milton is being phased out as fast as they can move
people to the new machine, and that the disks/CPU boards are being pulled
for the new machine at a good clip too.  Unfortunately, the new machine
does not have anon ftp.

I don't know what will become of Milton's ftp archive.  Probably doomed.

Which is by far the biggest problem with the Power C package: it's not C.  It
has trouble with many common C constructs, such as typedef'd structs and
mutually referential structures.  To the original poster: if you want to learn
C, do it on a mainframe if possible, or at the very least a PC or Mac; ie.
something that actually compiles C and not simply a common subset of the
language.

HSW> Any help will be appreciated.

The chip that you would replace is the Kernal.  If you are going to
replace it, get the JiffyDOS instead (I'd recommend just the SX
version, but you could go for the C-64 version) as it will help with
your RAMLink in other ways and is really nice to have. Be aware, though,
that replacing the kernal with a C-64 one will cause software to think
you have a C-64 and any software that needs a cassette-port dongle is
not going to let you get away without one.

But I doubt that's the real problem.  The SX-64 has a ribbon cable
between the expansion port and the board.  This often causes timing
problems with devices such as REUs.  You could try cutting down the
length of the cable, but that's rather a lot of work for a maybe
solution.

One other thing that can be done to help the compatibility of the SX is
a 3.3K-ohm pull-up added to the /SRQ line of the serial port.  The
pull-up is there on the 64 for the datasette, but some fast-loading and
copy-protection schemes use the line with serial operations in odd ways
that don't work well without the pull-up.  I wouldn't expect this was
related to your problem, though.

By transportable, do you mean a 64 SX? Or just a regular 64?

I understand that a non-cbm modem can be used with a C64 or C128
if one has an RS232 interface adapter.  What is this exactly?
If I had the connectors, could I fabricate such a thing myself?
If so, could someone supply me with a wiring diagram?
Thanks.
