Well, as much as I'd love to patch the c64 side of the jiffydos kernal into
my software i have a feeling that would be some bad karma coming back at me
for distributing/incorporating jiffydos (or jaffydos) with my program. So I
was looking for an alternative open source kernal that could speed things
up. Again, even by a little, if such a thing exists.
