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:)

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. |

I figure that might limit the potiential audience too much. One 64 and a drive is what most probably everyone can come up with. 2 drives maybe, but then it's getting harder. The excess drives are usually stacked away in the attic for future replacement. ;-) |

Oswald: Pffff, stock setup is C64 without drive. Why don't use full power of stock C64 with 4 drive's instead of 1? PC demos are boring. What is Amiga?;)
Steppe: Today everyone has PC with emu so the audience is not a problem, also I think that party organizers should allow configuration proposed by me. |

@Mr.Ice: I really suggest you do it if you're so interested in it. ;D I mean, u ARE a coder and communication over the IEC bus is NOT rocket science. Do it! |
