Good Emulators & floppies (was: C64 CP/M carts (was:...))

Due to massive amounts of caffeine & sleep deprivation, Doug Spence said: "Evil Empire?" == Use the Farce, Duke! == First, if you have an Atari ST, (and I think TOS 1.4 or above... getting my ST next weekend! Wheeeee! ;-) it can read/write/format PC floppies. Second, if the EX's drive controller can handle double-sided drives, replace the SSDD drive with a DSDD one and get 720K storage, and the capability to read other 720K floppies... BTW, you mentioned in the original post that you own a 1541 C= drive... would you like to hook that up to the EX? There's a way to run that drive thru the serial port, takes a 1 or 2 chip converter board, and I've seen the dox on this... but I'm not a Commie fan (sorry... had to say that ;^) but ISTR that the circuit is very similar to the one used to hook up the Atari 8-bit series drives (810 / 1050 / Indus, etc.) to an IBM as well. Well, given your disliking of PC-Clones, you obviously have not heard about Jeff Vavasour's emulators that run on the Intel platform. He's got emulators for the Tandy Model 1, 3 and 4, and the Tandy Color Computer 2 and 3. I ran the CoCo 2 emulator (freeware) and liked it so much, that I bought ($25-shareware) the CoCo 3 emulator... and ***Love*** it! I have full info on this program for any CoCoNuts out there, and remember: Just 'cause you ain't seen it, don't mean it ain't there! I've got the fastest CoCo in the area! (Running the emu on a P150+... Whoohoo!!! ;-) Anyway, gotta go, and have fun emulating!
