Fred,
Are we being a little sarcastic or serious? :)Honestly, a sw implementation
would be interesting but would it work on vintage hw? Or are you suggesting for
use only with a modern system? For example here is my dilemma: my stinkers,
whom you have met, are getting old enough to want to mess with my stuff.
*shudder* i mean cool! but I really don't want them ruining my one actual
original disk for any programs I own. So what I do is make backup copies just
like in the old days. And before someone suggests emulators, it is just not the
same. I mean if we wanted to emulate everything why bother even preserving
hardware?Problem is when we have copy protection, as many games or old SW do,
then you need a Copy II PC board. I have one and they are fairly common but
ridiculously expensive now a days. So it would be nice if the functions could
be duplicated in an easy to use manner. Kyro Flux is powerful but not for
everyone. I want an FDC that would cover 90% of the vintage hobby (i.e. Apple
II, Mac, and IBM). An FDC that combines a CompatiCard IV with a copy ii pc
deluxe and a Match Point card would cover all of the above plus then some.Just
a thought.... ;D
