So, my question is - for the c128 people... if I
really just want a
I'd like a
C64,
will the C128's C64 emulation be
100% and make me happy? If so 128 as long as I'm going for a C64 so I have some
extra functionality
to
play with. But if the C128 won't run 100% of the
C64 software,
then I'd best
just stick with getting a C64.
Advice?

For all intents and purposes the 128 will work as a 64 without incident.
What you get with the 128 is faster file processing when used in
conjuntion with a RAM expansion and 1571/1581 drives. THe OS is
newer so you get BASIC 4 in 128 mode which I find useful. I switch
to 64 mode only to play games. The C 128 is the most-used computer
in my old computer work. For example, I can use it as a bridge
between the B-128 world and the PC world.
