Question then is: Would we want to keep the BASIC interpretter? In a way the BASIC interpretter is the heart and soul of the c64. Without it, it would no longer feel C64 i believe. But face it - 99.9% of the time we use it for LOAD"*",8:RUN. It takes up precious space in ROM and most of the time a well equipped DOS wedge is what we need. If the BASIC interpretter was thrown out the available ROM could be used for TCP/IP and MMC routines, etc. I think it's an interesting thought! What do you guys think?

BASIC-ROM is used, even if you personally don't use it. AR-code needs it a lot, for example. Dunno how much utilities need subroutines from that ($AB1E for example). I wouldn't go for it, if you want to run the old programs.

It seems it does not change the CHRGET-routine at $0073.

i dont see anyone complaining about graham "sitting around" on his TFR sources either.

Maybe we'll see a CyberPunx comeback in 2006

This was a nice outline for a plan and it's too bad it never got anywhere, like so many others. Personally I am one of the worst: I must have started well over a hundred projects during my lifetime and finished maybe 30-40 of them - most of those simple little programs... Usually I give up when it gets too hard.

ROTFLOLMAO.
