This never worked for me unless I disconnected the protection diodes inside the C64 first. -Pete On Wed, Mar 25, 2020 at 10:38 AM, silverdr_at_wfmh.org.pl wrote: https://www.wikizero.com/en/Commodore_64_peripherals (https://www.wikizero.com/en/Commodore_64_peripherals) says: "It was also possible, without requiring a VIC-switch, to connect two Commodore 64s to one 1541 floppy disk drive to simulate an elementary network, allowing the two computers to share data on a single disk (if the two computers made simultaneous requests, the 1541 handled one while returning an error to the other, which surprised many people who expected the 1541's less-than-stellar drive controller to crash or hang). This functionality also worked with a mixed combination of PET, VIC-20, and other selected Commodore 8-bit computers." Has anyone tested that? Is that a fully deterministic/reliable behaviour? -- SD!Received on 2020-05-30 01:24:35
