There are several free Usenet systems (eternal-september.org is the one I use), but the bigger problem is having a Usenet client. You can certainly connect to port 119 from your VIC, but you'll need to figure out how to tell the server who you are and what you want to do. Probably easiest is to find...

Very cool, thanks for the heads up!

I can't speak for everyone, but I'll agree that 32k is probably fairly common. I did it to mine years ago.

Excellent, I'll definitely check this out!!

Very cool. Last year I attempted to learn Morse, but I wasn't able to dedicate the time to it. I'll give this a shot.

Did you contact them? Perhaps you just got a dud. It happens, I'm sure.

From Michael S. Tomczyk interesting book The Home Computer Wars http://www.stonan.com/dok/The.Home.Computer.Wars.pdf : Two VIC chip configurations were planned--22 columns and 40 columns, although the 40-column version was not designed yet. The 22-column version had larger letters but displayed only...

Alright, I know. This thread is ancient. But I recently picked up one of these for about $10 off eBay, played around with it enough to make it work from the VIC-20, and wrote it up a bit with some information on usage. Not sure if anyone is playing with these, but maybe it'll help others who go goog...

Plus shipping, which for me is an astounding $91.90.

I'll second this -- anyone have a copy hanging around? I'd love to get my hands on it for playing on my VIC.

Excellent! FYI, I was able to load these using an XE1541 cable and VC-1541 (1541 emulator) by taking the D64 files into D64 Editor (http://www.d64editor.com) and exporting them out as PRGs.

I know this post is over a year old, but thank you. I went looking for the Wordcraft 20 manual, and was very happy to find your links.
