The readme at the tripod site says that disks usually are 8050 format, but atleast the A0 lynx files fit d64 files. (I extracted the two lynx files to two separate d64 images but it seems to fit one d64 disk. I guess that the split is there so anyone with just one single drive can extract the files even on a "d64" drive). Btw I noticed that you cannot have more than one "big" disk drive with PET in VICE. If you select a drive with dual mechanisms for one unit you can only choose 2031, 1001 or "none" for the other unit. > But at least I have those disk images I was after and that's a > fantastic start.

Although it's often like you describe, missing binaries, it's not that uncommon for binaries to actually be there :) -- (\_/) Copy the bunny to your mails to help (O.o) him achieve world domination.
