- |Well, I downloaded the above reader and it seems to work pretty well! It is
- |good to at last have an off-line reader for the 64 when logging onto the
- |international conferences etc!!!
- |
- |One thing I have found with it is you do need to have any cartridges disabled
- |before unarcing packets and reading the unarced packet for the first time, or
- |else the program locks up the drive. Also you do need to power down the drive
- |between unarcing and reading - I think it may have something to do with the
- |fastload routines in the unarcing program.
- |
- |All in all, its great!
