Booting the web server from a disk would be alot easier since writing a disk is much simpler that writing a ROM; newer versions of the software is easier to install if the software is on a disk. Does the 1541 ROM have the ability to boot a program from the disk? With the code running in 16k of extra RAM, it would be possible to implement an FTP server that is able not only to send files, but also to receive them and write them to disk (since the original ROM still is in place). That would be a nice way to transfer data between the C64 and the PC ;-) /adam -- Adam Dunkels <adam_at_sics.se> http://www.sics.se/~adam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
