I did manage to load and save to 8050 but it was quite
difficult,
because the 4052 asserts IFC when you least want it to. I keep meaning
to make up a GPIB cable without IFC.
That should be quite an easty thing to do ;-)
OTOH my PET isn't going to be the easiest machine to get stuff online
from. I have the SSE serial box, but I may as well use the serial port
on the 4052 expansion backpack...
Crazy thought... Has anyone managed to porgram an HP9000/200 machine to
use CBM disk drives? It shouldn't be too hard, the worst problem is the
strange scondary addressing the Commodore used (IIRC the high bit is
used, HP don't normally allow this).
I have this crazy idea of saving form a 4052 onto an 8050 disk, reading
that on an HP9000/200 and transfering it to a 3.5" LIF format disk, and
then reading that on a PC...
