Yes, i have the 1541 interface and things, though a little slow at timesseem to run pretty smoothly. Yes, the ability to hit the two alt keys, flip the screen and carry on with something else is definitely something that the other c64 emulators have been missing. I'm just looking forward to the propsed option of being able to use the humble 1541 as an amiga device. Just the sort of thing i need for HD backups considering the number of unused 5 1/4 disks that I've got lying around. As for resets. There is a list of alternate keys in the manual, and though I can't remember them offhand, i know that they are there somewhere Justin Deeley
