Strange question, but does anyone know how to get a C64 cartridge
case apart without breaking it? I have a bad "Epyx Fast Load"
cartridge, and need a case for my "MMC Replay" w/RR-Net.
I still haven't really had time to do much with the MMC Replay, I
have managed to get a few things to run from it (the C1541 emulation
is pretty bad). I have managed to successfully get a DHCP lease for
the RR-Net, but haven't gotten it to talk to anything. I finally got
some of my floppies back out of storage (put them up on accident just
before I bought the MMC Replay, and I want to see about making and
writing out D64 images.
Zane,
If you heat the cart in the oven at a temperature less than that which will
melt the case, but enough to melt the glue?
I have had considerable adventures with this combo of hardware, here is a
link that spells out the steps I took to interface my C128 (in c64 mode)
using MMC Replay and RR-Net with the second Ethernet card in a PC formatted
with WinXT. I can make a D64 image of a disk in less than 30 seconds. I
prefer the c128 because after each image, I get better performance if I
restart the C128 using the reset button (rather than have to power cycle
the c64). I have a lot of the files you need on my web site, directions
and links for the files you'll need are here:
