I have to say that i'm really impressed with the amount of work that has been carried out here. There are so many type in's out there which are yet to be preserved, and Tokra has done a superb job!

It is quite remarkable you kept your notes over that long time span. Which monitor did you use to assemble the code?Dusty wrote:Well, however, I then grabbed out my old ring binders and found a print out of the source code, dated October, 27th 1985 ...
Indeed emulators have advanced quite a lot over the last years. At least since 2002 VICE forms an essential part in my tool-set for cross-developing for the VIC-20.I first installed the VICE emulator and downloadad the files, [...] the emulator creators did a great job, too!
I have an X1541 cable that I've never had occasion to use. It was a freebie from someone on this forum and I'm quite happy to pass it on to someone who can make use of it.Dusty wrote:But I'm sure, there are suitable solutions for the data transfer, err?
If I got such a possibilty, I'll gladly post some more stuff here!
I'm not sure about that. Can someone please confirm whether an X1541 cable will work with third party floppy drives or not?Dusty wrote:Do you (or someone else) probably know, if the x1541 cable will work only with a 1541 or probably with other commodore compatible FDDs, too? Right now, I just got a C128d and a 2-disk-drive from a 3rd party company...
Just asked some people on Lemon 64. It depends on the drive; some third party drives work with an X1541 cable, some don't; the only way to find out is to give it a shot.Dusty wrote:Do you (or someone else) probably know, if the x1541 cable will work only with a 1541 or probably with other commodore compatible FDDs, too?

I'd like to give it a try, and if it shouldn't work, I can look for a 1541 at ebay or give the cable to the next one here who asks!
