Serial Slave is a system that allows you to use a PC as a virtual disk
drive for your C64. It communicates using RS-232 and doesn't require
any custom hardware. The PC server also runs well under multitasking
operating systems, so you don't have to dedicate a machine to running
Serial Slave. Serial Slave is fast: 3.8 kB/s with a SwiftLink, 11.5
kB/s with a Turbo232, and even 23 kB/s with a SuperCPU if your PC
supports 230400 baud.

Requirements

   1. A Commodore 64
   2. A SwiftLink or Turbo232 interface
   3. A null modem serial cable
   4. A PC or a workstation with a serial port
   5. Perl 5.x with the Win32::SerialPort or Device::SerialPort module
      installed

Features

  * Use the PC as a virtual hard drive
  * Mount D64s and use as a virtual 1541
  * Load URLs - even mount D64s over TCP/IP

Download

  Get Serial Slave 0.6 from http://come.to/life/

This is the first beta release. Expect rough edges and general
funkiness. Be sure to drop me a mail and let me know if it works.
