Right, everything should be able to be done from the Workbench, just
between
a shell window and the regular "desktop".

That's a good idea... I was thinking of the 3 step method, as it seemed
a fairly easy port, but to do it all in one step like that would be
really convinient. I wasn't concerned about memory, as I have a 512K
REU for the 64, and another 2meg expansion, plus I'll be getting a 16MB
card for my 65816 in the 64... However, if this method works (which it
should), a stock 64 & 1541 could make a really great development system,
that you could buy for $20 at a thrift shop! Do away with needing
multi-thousand $ systems :) Not that there aren't other uses for those
machines...

Agreed. ;)
