Re: Mega-Cart external menu ver. 1.0

It allows using an external drive based on sd2iec firmware to load new/updated items published on new Mega-Cart revision 22. ... does it allow the user to flash the MegaCart with software from an SD2IEC drive? No. It allows games & utilities to be loaded from SD2IEC (or uIEC) to MegaCart via me...

Re: Armas Vic20 tapes page?

I had to replace my server last weekend.
I didn't get around to changing DNS entries for the domain.

Use this URL - http://www.6502dude.com/cbm/vic20/arma/index.html
