But right off hand I don't know anything about them. A google for c64 disk image & commodore 64 disk image turns up a few emulator pages and such that briefly mention it, but I didn't go into much. I suspect that to find out what really works, you'd actually have to try some of those things. And, of course, that assumes you actually have a 5.25" floppy.... Not too many people do anymore! I haven't used a c64 since, oh, 84 or so, but if I remember right, the floppies used a variable number of sectors that the PC floppy controller doesn't like. As for a scan of the manual, yes, I'd like to have that too. It's part of his program, so it might as well be included. It'd probably be better to send it to our gmail address. It should be more reliable than my ISP address. PublicPost -a-t- GMail.com (Yes, I know... it's not very descriptive for the project. But I already had it, and I didn't feel like giving gmail my cell phone number to get another one.)
