I even had something from (super card I think) called "IHS Nibbler"
(Index Hole Sensor) nibbler.
which was a hardware/software copier mix, one part went inside the drive.
I remember the "super card" had many different things, like a "ram
card" that went inside the 1541 drive.
is it possible to recreate these things? (I dont have any hardware any more)
I doubt anyone owns the copyrights now, or alternatively I bet a
"generic" hardware device could be made...
You really like making claims about copyrights don't you? Even I am
noticing a trend here, and I don't spend much time reading the list
anymore. Or are you simply a Troll?
Personally I'm more interested in new hardware that incorporates
aspects of old hardware for my C-64, and have purchased three new
items in the past year. So maybe this does answer your question,
yes, it is possible to recreate some of these old upgrades, but I'm
not of anyone making specifically what you're talking about as I've
not had any reason to look for them. For all I know it's already
built into the one device I have, or can be added to it.
