so how did you do the demo? pc connected to c64?
still would like the code to play with if you can share...
and what about alternatives like other c64 emulators ccs65, etc?
anyhow if the only way is a real c64, as long as the modem connection can
be emulated,
I suppose that would work.
actual direct c64 storage is limited and hardware wears out, which is what
makes emulation attractive
and I'm by no means a coder, so no way I could delve into that
