What you're saying is that the external 6510 is executing the same program as the internal one? I never had thought about that. I thought that it was "sleeping" or whatever because its busses had been disabled. If the above is the case, then next question: are all produced 6510's the same and if not, does that matter in this case? Groetjes, Ruud - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
