Unfortunatly, the C64 puts out a timing signal that is always on the serial bus to drive the timing. 2 64s would and do conflict if you try this same game. My best suggestion would be to build a 2 position 5 contact switch with the appropriate connectors and switch between the 2 C64s that way. Daniel Lawrence inph4!pur-ee!pur-phy!duncan!lawrence
