Excellent!  Congratulations.  How compatible is VIC
intended to be?

I am amused that emulator writers are still having
to patch code in response to demos that don't work.
(eg Power64 was patched earlier this year in
response to errors running Deus Ex Machina,
the winner of the c64 democomp at
Mekka+Symposium 2000)

As for requests, either ethernet or USB :-)
I'm not really fussed about SCSI, IDE, PCI, ISA..

Christopher.
