I do believe the interfaces built into each of these was different and NOT compatable with any of the others... I have a c64 KOALA PAD and a few years ago was given an APPLE K-PAD and have had no luck with devising a home made interface... I even attempted to find the IC that was used in the c64 interface to build another from scratch but the chip number is unlisted in all of my referances- probibly a custom chip that KOALA TECH. made and can not be purchased anywhere.... So, I don't think you will have much luck with getting it to work on a c64, but if you find a way, please let me know... The only thought I have is look for someone who has a c64=20 K-PAD maybe with a bad (torn/worn) drawling pad (but the interface is ok) if you could buy it cheep, the actual black "touch-pad" is the same from one variaty to another so all you would need to do is to swap the touch-pads and use the c64 K-PAD like that... good luck, Radioactive Warrior #! rnews 1890 Path: pravda.aa.msen.com!news1.best.com!news.texas.net!news.kei.com!newsf= eed.internetmci.com!news.inc.net!newspump.sol.net!news.mindspring.com!use= net From: Radioactive Warrior Newsgroups: comp.sys.cbm Subject: Re: Programming the Cassette Port Date: Wed, 17 Jul 1996 12:50:10 +0000 Organization: the bomb will bring us together...
