Unused power of c64 config
Hi,
I always wonder why nobody ever released something that will require four 1541 drives to run (5x 6502 running in parallel). Serial bus is of course slow but if You have large computations to do time to transfer data shouldn't be a problem. You can also use parallel cable instead of serial and then calculations/transfer ratio is very good:)

Perhaps not exactly what you're looking for but close:

hmm, I want to see demo running on a STANDARD c64 configuration, which is 1x c64 + 4x 1541;) whithout any network. |

I'd actually want to see a demo, game or tool running networked over a drive. 4X 1541 demos would be cool aswell, but would for starters not beat 6 SID-voices (1X8580, 1X6581R4). 2 C64's are probably more common than 4X 1541's amongst the audience too. |

I'd gladly test a 4-drive setup, no problem setting that up right here :P
Would be a nice experiment. |

I know there have been some games testing out this kind of 1541 networking solution (I saw KF and one of the Oneway-guys doing it at a Floppy, amongst other things) but I haven't seen a demo or a 6 SID-voice synchronization, or even a tool utilizing it. If you know of something like this, please let me know. |

Double uses 2 c64s, the sid is 6 voices I think, but there's no real sync (press key at the same time on both c64s) |

Same with Multi-Scape Demo which should be run on 4 c64's simultaneously, no real sync here either though. |

All those examples are not what I wanted:) I want a power of 5x 6502 on one screen (I don't care about 2 SIDs:)) So, who will do such "world first"?:) H2SO4? Groham? Krossbow?:) |

imho if the stock setup is not enough for you then you should watch demos on amigas/pcs. |
