Agreed, especially since I am running cbm4win on a K6-2/400 on NT4. Oh,
I forgot: My first attempt (2001?) was even on a K6/233 (NT4), AND IT
WORKED! Notice that this is all without too much special help from
interrupts (with the exception of just one interrupt for the "listener
hold-off", cf.  http://www.trikaliotis.net/cbm4win.shtml#faq_hw: "Why
are the X1541 or XE1541 cables not supported?").

Regards,
   Spiro.
