Hi.

I am typing this on my Commodore 64 connected in via a serial port to a laptop running Ubuntu 13.04.

This is cool.

I called here 21 years ago with one of these machines and Novaterm.

Now I am doing it again.

No, bunch of other games though. I have a 2 gb SD card on it and can download images all the time.

Two floppy drives? High end!

Wait, you have a 2 GB SD card in C 64? Can it COPE with that? :lol:

I was Atari all the way. I started with a 400 and moved up to an 800. I worked for an insurance company and was able to bid on a recovered Smartmodem. I had to solder my own serial cable for it. That was my first Cellar machine.

The Ataris were awesome machines. I know you can get the same setup for them too.
