Are there any CBM users groups in the San Jose area?
I used to be a librarian for the 20/64 group and then for 64 More.
I managed to collect a lot of CBM stuff and write a lot too.
My old 80's 1541 disks are forgetting their content and I would like to
find an easy way to save what's left. Unfortunately, I didn't document
my projects well and have versions all over the place. So far I have
used SC and a cable on a PC with 1541 to get what I could but wonder if there
is software for a PC using DOS that will read a CBM disk on an IBM
drive and extract files enmass
directly. I have a dual CBM drive which looks like it uses IBM disk
drives, so I wonder if the reverse might be true. I would like to
go over my CBM source with DOS IBM tools to
expedite the whole process (not to mention slow I.O. for a 1451 or
1581 drive). I still have my C128 to test things on via serial cable.
I imagine there are better ways to do this and software I havn't discovered.
Any help would be appreciated. I wrote a gizmo that gives 50 lines x 80 columns
on the C-128 and some other things that may be useful to others and
would end up putting them on my website (eventually) www.ml1compiler.org
