I don't know what a CSM backer is, but transferring a c64 cartridge to the PC is normally not that hard.
Adding a cartridge switch to the 64, or inserting the cartridge on the fly might be required though.
EDIT: http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-Commodore-64-128-Cartridge-Backer-by-CSM..
Judging by the look of it, it is basically some switches + a reset button. Presumably does what I wrote above.
Does anybody have a schematic+manual on this?
@pitcher: What cartriges are do you want to backup? |

you only need to cut (and reconnect with a switch) the exrom and game lines on the expansion port. some expansion port expanders have jumpers or dip switches for that too so they will do the trick. |
