Opening it up and adding jiffydos rom kernal is the way to go. The
command strings are small, hot keys for directory and loads. Might
want to look into it as the benefits are enormous. Atleast IMO pick
up the chip so you'll have it if you place an order.

Actually, I am going to need the JiffyDOS ROM Kernal since that
1581 disk drive I recently acquired is equipped with JiffyDOS.
So, I should open it anyway to see if it doesn't already have it.

Shoot, I may as well install the SD thing inside then. I'm just
a bit leary being I haven't very much Commodore experience, yeah,
not much, like none.

Dang, now I don't know what I want to do. I know, I will put in
the JiffyDOS, and use the uIEC-SD thing outside. Yeah, that's it.

So, so far I need the JiffyDOS kernal ROM, the uIEC-SD with the
daughtercard.

Don't worry about it, Bill. You can teach us a thing
or two about the Apple II. :)

Maybe even three or four, Robert. I've only been learning
the Apple II since 2002, but I have acquired quite a bit
of knowledge in that amount of time.

My main heart-throb back in the day was Atari.

You're kidding! Judging from your posts on comp.sys.apple2, I'd
figured you for a long-time veteran...
