Still, the 1541 filesystem is simple and writing custom read-only routines for it isn't much work. Also, I was a bit unclear in my originial post; when I talked about writing/modifying the filesystem using the 1541 ROM routines, I ment writing the disk using a normal C64. (In which case it is the ROM routines that actually are used ;-) /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.
