BTW: The C128 runs at 2MHz And my C64 runs at 20Mhz, with a 65816 in 6502 emulation mode :) I'll have 16MB of RAM for it soon too, talk about room to unroll some loops! If this intrigues you, check out: http://www.cmdweb.com/ My C64->Supercharger program is nearly done - I've been using it to write programs for the 2600 already. I just want to improve the user interface, to make it easier for unknowledgable folks to send .bins. Although, probably everybody using this thing will be very knowledgable... I also want to include a really nice doc file, this may take a while. For this purpose, may I freely quote all the A2600 documents I've obtained from the Internet, as long as I'm giving references? -- Robin Harbron <robinh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.tbaytel.net/macbeth -- Archives updated once/day at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsubscribing and other info at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/stella.html
