- Yes, the jomby account no longer exists. The account this is posted from
- (kolstad@cae.wisc.edu) ought to be good until I graduate (1993+rnd(1)*10).
-
- The entire file in supposed to be availible on milton (though I've never
- checked to make sure that it was posted), and it definitely is availible on
- Q-Link.
-
- For the original poster, though, this project won't help him -- it only
- works with a C-64. Doing the same thing for a C-128 would take a fair
- amount of time, and since I don't even _have_ a C-128 (I got an A-3000
- instead :-) ), it isn`t going to be me investing that time (unless someone
- wants to donate a C-128D...).
-
- I still have the project file sitting in my account here, so for those of
- you without FTP or Q-Link access who are interested in this, I can e-mail
- you the file if you drop me a note. You'll need GEOS, though, since that's
- the format that the schematic and instructions ended up in.
-
- I'm only aware of 3 other people besides myself who have built this thing.
- My has worked fine for over a year now, and so have all those of the other
- people who I've talked with.
