Any luck on getting a rom image from my roms ? I would like to be on a mailing list (CMail) when you get the 486 module done or any other updates , C64 , digitizer or anything else, videoboard ? You are wrong when you said you could never sell the C64 module,I would buy it as a software update. I have loads of C64 stuff and no reliable C64. // Gary B.

Gary, -> I have loads of C64 stuff and no reliable C64. You're not the only one! In the C= 8-bit forum (CBMAPP) we have some C64 emulators for the PC. A lot of interest has been shown and people are very happy to be playing old favourite games again (among other things). Malcolm

PMFJI, but the program that I would like to get running again from my C64 is Fontmaster. That program turned a cheap, low grade printer into a high quality resume printer. If only it didn't have that stupid copy protrection scheme I would have been able to run it with the c64 emulater I have for the Amiga!

The used computer stores in the DFW area have stacks of C64s, many of which are in excellent condition. Have you tried such stores in your area? The prices are very reasonable. Might try garage sales, too.

Yup, copy protection is still a real bear. The solution for those who want to use emulators or install on HDs for their 64/128 is to break the protection with programs such as Maverick or Elite (for the Pocket series). Unfortunately, that generally requires a real 64 and 1541.
