I don't believe that the Spinnaker version (Power C) is copy protected. Maybe
it is, and I just didn't notice (I haven't loaded up the '64 version of the
compiler yet, just the '128 version). But when I made my backup copies, with
an ordinary whole-disk copier (not a nibbler or anything), it didn't complain.
Considering that my copy costed only $34.95....

Does anybody know if C-Power/128 uses the $1300-$1400 area? I want to put my
new DOS vectors there to use a relocated RAM-disk driver, and from my
disassembly, it doesn't look like that area is used, but I really haven't had
time to look (I've been vedy vedy busy lately).

Which reminds me: George Robbins, when will we see that developer disk with
that new assembler and all those RAM disk drivers!

BTW, if anybody knows something about companies manufacturing/marketing
C-64/C-128 hardware, I'd be interested in hearing from you, via personal
mail... we have a couple of hardware gizmos under development (a prototype
actually exists of one of them, although the transparent device drivers are
still being written), and pretty soon it'll be time to toss'em onto the
market, either through an existing firm, or a startup (no, NOT me, I'm an
engineer, not a business flunky).
