What a
coincidence - this morning I started looking into what I'd need to get
into packet radio. There's a couple of hams here who'll help me out, I have
no license, equipment, or anything (except computers). What packet stuff do
you have available ? (reply via email, as I suspect this is OT)
Nothing anymore, I purged it out at a local hamfest. Mostly it was
C64, PC, and Apple 2 based stuff.
Back in the day, I remember some VIC-20 stuff, too (since at the time
the C-64 was
running $400-$600, a bit too expensive to put in dedicated use, but
the VIC-20 was
under $100). If I had any part numbers, I'd give them; I just
remember folks with
VIC-20s and external TNCs at the Dayton Hamvention.
Essentially, stuff for the user port should be portable between the
two, like the
C= RS-232 cart. ROM cartridges, though, are entirely specific to each model
(totally different memory maps and physical connectors).
