Last night I was *finally* able to update one of the banks in my
Retro-Reply with "The Final Replay" rom. This gives you the command
"CODENET" which allows you to send and execute code on the C64 from
another computer over TCP/IP. I sent the WarpCopy server and now I
am able to archive disk to my PC or send D64 files to be wrote to
a floppy. It takes only 22 seconds to send the whole contents of
a disk to my PC! Now I just need to find three more drives...
WarpCopy can be found here: http://www.oxyron.de/html/wc64.html .
(The Final Replay rom is also available there.)
Nice! How well does it handle writing D64 images back to a floppy?
I about went deaf last night while writing an image to my 1541. My
old Twinhead 386sx/16 laptop that I use to run Star Commander has a
battery that's basically dead, and I need to open it up and kill the
speaker that was howling.
I really want the Retro-Replay cart and RR-Net, but haven't been able
to justify the cost :^(
How "interesting" is it to get the Retro-Replay working? I gather
from looking at the doc's that it doesn't
include anything in the
EPROM's, and that you have to get the ROM images loaded
yourself?
