Anything incompatible with JiffyDOS would need it to be disabled either way, swapping between the 1541 ROM and an overlay would operate exactly the same because the same values would be presented to the CPU. There just wouldn't be the need of copying any of CBM code. It might even have been possible to have tape and rs232 plus jiffydos all active at the same time. >> I find it more plausible that they entered into an agreement with the FSD drive >> manufacturer in good faith, assuming that the manufacturer would handle the rest >> of the legalities. If the drive manufacturers were able to sort out the legal issue of shipping 1541 roms, they wouldn't have been buying JiffyDOS licenses in the first place. The drive manufacturers must have thought that licensing JiffyDOS solved their problem completely or they wouldn't have done it. Good faith is not what comes to mind.Received on 2018-06-06 02:00:04
