Will there be support for the PAL-VIC20? IIRC, the NTSC VIC has exactly
the same clock speed as the NTSC C64, but the PAL-VIC runs considerably
faster (yes faster, not slower as the PAL-C64). There are two kernal
versions anyway, one for NTSC and one for PAL, because the VIC chips
need to be setup differently.

This first release will be NTSC. The PAL version will follow
shortly afterwards. I'll work on that once the NTSC version is
working perfectly. I wouldn't think it would take much to make
the changes for the PAL version.

Wow, JiffyDOS for the VIC would be great!  But what about the tape routines?
Aren't those eliminated with the C64 version of JiffyDOS?  While basically
irrelevant to most C64/128 users, most of us VIC users still use the tape
drive quite a bit.

Just like with the 64, if you need to use a tape drive, then
you'll flip the switch back to the stock kernal. In the JiffyDOS
kernal, all tape routines are gone.

How do I "cross the pins" to get a 28-PIN C-128 (64 ROM) to work on a
24-PIN 64 machine? I am assuming that the 28 pinner is a 128 version.

Just an odd-thought I started thinking about.  Is there a version of
JiffyDOS for the Plus/4?  That system is just as slow loading from a
1541/1571/1581 as the C64.  I've honestly never even seen the one that was
made for the TED systems that used the cartridge port (can't remember the
model number) I don't know anybody who has one.

That will come later along with JiffyDOS for the C-16 as well.
Then we'll have all the 8-bits with the Commodore IEC bus covered.

Does this imply that the 8-bit computers with the IEEE bus are still to
be looked at?
