You also have to use the parameter menu as well. >For most >commercial programs, you have to add a boot parameter after you have >copied the disk to a backup. After you boot up Maverick, use the >parameter menu instead of the copier menu. Then find out what type of >copier to use, copy the program, then use the parameter menu to load the >parameter for the specific program. What I did not long after getting Maverick is just boot up the parameters and then print them all out. There is a selection for it, consult your manual for particulars. Each printout list the parameters that are on that disk/side and what copier is recommended. So now when I need to make a backup I just whip out the list, search for the name of the program, determine what copier to use and which parameter disk I will need -- all before I've even booted Maverick.

We might get a 386 for free, so I would like to look into the world of the C64 emulator. Which emulator will allow me to copy and use all of my C= software on the PC hard drive? I have heard that some emulators will not run some C= software (e.g., heavily graphics based games, etc.). Basically I want to be able to put an emulator onto our PC, put ALL of my C= software onto a PC, and use ALL OF IT with no problem! :-) I do not want to have to mess with plugging any C= drives into the PC in order to run any C= software. :-) Chris McLeod (of the clan MacLeod) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Aug 1996 18:41:54 +0000 From: Todd VanScoter Subject: Projects for C64 Does anyone know of a book of Hardware projects or better yet someplace on the net I can get info on projects I can build and hook up to my c64? Specifically a weather station type project.

I'm surprised to find a MAILING LIST covering Commodore computers. They were my very first computers. I bought the first Vic-20 in Miami, had the ram expander and more. Actually, I have had most of them, the Vic-20, C-64, several SX-64 portables, C-128 and C-128D. They were lots of fun, expecially the multi-mode C-128D that looked like a PC. What kind of comps are you guys still using? Do you have yours rigged up with hard drives? (I knew one company used to make them for C= comps... I still have some DEMO MAKER programs. These were among my favorite C= programs. The make self-running letters, some with music. Sort of like multi-media correspondence makers. I still have some old stuff in the shack, incase anyone is interested. I think I still have an printer interface that allowed me to hook up a Panasonic KX-P1123. Let me know if you folks are interested in any of this stuff and I'll look around to see for sure...

So there are still alot of active Commodore users still. :) The hardest part is in finding them...
