Thanks BD. I'll have to keep a look out for the ultra low profile ones. Spammer!?! I don't see that. But you are labeled as a "guest" here so maybe you should join up! lol.
Edit: I just noticed I am labeled as a "Windows User" Now that's cruel, even though I do use Windows for work. LOL

I think you are labelled "Windows User" until you make about 20 posts (not sure the exact numerical value)... then you get "promoted" to KIM-1 User... at 40 posts (I think) you get "promoted" to PET User... and at 80~100 posts you become VIC-20 User... around 175 posts you become C64 User... around 500 posts you become 128 User (not sure if there is anything in between 175 and 500... maybe Plus/4 near 250 ??). VDC8x2 knows all the details, but he likes to keep it secret to promote participation? There is also 128D User and more... (Amiga?)... but I don't know! Anyway, all the noobs are labeled "Windows User". Just keep posting quality content, and your rank will rise  |

I figured that was the case. Thanks for the explanation. I think it's a great noob title! LOL

Back in the Maurice Scandall days, I noticed a file circulating around which contained a bunch of JiffyDOS ROM images. Unfortunately, the C128 JiffyDOS it contained was corrupt. I then enterprised to split in sections the good JiffyDOS for C128D that I had - a european gentleman sent me an original C128D JiffyDOS.
On the Normal C128, JiffyDOS requires 2 different chips since one is for the C128 mode and the other is for the C64 mode and is identical to what is used in the C64c. In the C128D, both chips are combined into one so resplitting it back in 2 components to get JiffyDOS for the flat 128 proved to be quite a tedious job but the result was JiffyDOS for the C128 which worked perfectly well.
