Hi all. There are many projects that use modern technology to interface Commodore computers.

And many if not most of them fall in two categories:
- Those that try to recreate chips as substitution
- Those that emulate classic storage devices

But what about making the Commodore computers work as if they were computers of 2021?

As an example of what I am talking about:

The storage devices emulators try to replicate how a 1541 drive works, so the user will have a small flash memory drive filled with disk image files of 1541 disks. And that mean PRG, SEQ, REL files. But what about a FAT file system implementation and software like a text editor that would write TXT files? Or a 'paint' program that would write BMP files? Or a database program that would write DBF files?

Thanks for answers.
