Hello,  after my last post I got a letter saying that I haden't been very 
clear so I'll try again.  My dad just bought an IBM and wants to buy or
make a card which would have a C64 on it.  It would be like the C64 in a
C128.  To do this it would have to have a serial port, joystick ports, user 
port, cartrige port and cassete port on it.  The user, cartrige, and casset 
port could be inside if nessary where they could be brought to the out side
of the machine with ribbon cables.  I would like it to be able to utilize
the IBM screen and speeker.  If it could use the internal modem that would 
be great but I dont see how that could work.  The hardest part I see is 
running the video through the IBM video.  For the speeker, it really wouldn't
be necessary for it to run through the IBM internal if the card had an audio
out plug on it.  The C64 would use the IBM keyboard.  Also it would be nice
if driver software wasn't necassery but there wouldn't be a problem if it was
required.
Hope that explains it better.  Any help would be nice.

Thanks
Russ
