Serial Slave is a system that allows you to use a PC as a virtual disk
drive for your C64. It communicates using RS-232 and doesn't require
any custom hardware. The PC server also runs well under multitasking
operating systems, so you don't have to dedicate a machine to running
Serial Slave. Serial Slave is fast: 3.8 kB/s with a SwiftLink, 11.5
kB/s with a Turbo232, and even 23 kB/s with a SuperCPU if your PC
supports 230400 baud.
Requirements
1. A Commodore 64
2. A SwiftLink or Turbo232 interface
3. A null modem serial cable
4. A PC or a workstation with a serial port
5. Perl 5.x with the Win32::SerialPort or Device::SerialPort module
installed
Features
* Use the PC as a virtual hard drive
* Mount D64s and use as a virtual 1541
* Load URLs - even mount D64s over TCP/IP
