Hi,
Was there ever an IEEE interface for the 128 that worked in 128 mode?
I have a BUSCARD II and a RTC LINK II. I'm pretty sure the buscard only worked in 64 mode, but I have no manual for the RTC...

Silver Surfer 128. They are very rare, very hard to come by, and if you find someone who has one, he usually will part with a body part first.
The Silver Surfer seems to be an Ethernet card addon for the Retro Replay cartridge...
I'm looking for an IEEE-488 interface to connect old CBM drives (4040, 8050, SFD etc) to the 128.

After looking on the web, I think you meant to say "Quicksilver". Easy to get confused. Thanks for pointing me in the general direction though ;-)

Yes, silly me. I last saw one in 1991, so the memory is getting a bit fuzzy on such things. :)
Hi all,
Also searching for a quicksilver since years for the same purpose.
Does anyone as one ? Any picture ? Rom dump ? User manual scan ?
Any answer welcome. Thanks a lot

I have the Quicksilver 128 and its instruction manual (in storage, right now).

Quicksilver 128 was a Skyles Electric Works product that, while a tad bit crude-looking, worked very well. Prior to acquiring my Lt. Kernal system in 1987, I used three SFD-1001 drives for mass storage, the entire mess connected to my C-128 with a Quicksilver 128. All of that went bye-bye after I got the Lt. Kernal.
Skyles also produced the Blitz 128 BASIC compiler, which I used for some software development. As Commodore compilers went it was better than most.
