Hi!
I want to ask on one Q which is maybe irelevant/not for this category:
HAS ANYBODY EXTRACTED BASIC 10.0 ROM FROM C65 TO ANY BIN OR OTHER FILE?
If, is it usable for C128? Don't know size of BASIC 10.0, can fit to 32kB EPROM slot on C128 board?
Or other using of BASIC 10.0?
Thanks for every reply.

Several versions of the C65 ROMs can be found in Bo Zimmerman's CBM archive (http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/c65/index.html). That's always the first place to look for Commodore firmware.
To use it in the C128 you'd have to disassemble it and rewrite it for the C128's hardware. Not an easy task.
Definitely wouldn't be easy, as Bacon already said. I believe that the C65 was a quasi 16-bit computer similar to the Apple IIGS, while the 128 is only 8 bit.

Yes, as you wrote "quasi" - really has 8-bit processor, truth is that has better graphics than Amiga 500... but quasi is only quasi - 8-bit architecture ends its development...
