Re: C128 with IEEE interface, some info needed

Hello Ruud,

this has already been done in 64er Sonderheft 10 / 1986.
There is a board is based on a 8255. There is a patched Kernal for C64
and C128 on disk where the tape routines were replaced with IEEE
routines. It is better to change the wiring from the 64er a bit such
that the unused output ports of the 8255 are not directly connected to
GND. I also recommend to change the status byte store location the
routines use from the CIA2 serial shift register to some ZP location.

Ciao...
