Sounds great... I'd really like to do this with my 1700, but I don't have a 
copy of RAMDOS yet!  (As Sam Kinison would say: "Ohhhhh OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!")

Since I'm not fortunate enough to have DEVPACK yet, I'm still using my Commodore
_Macro Assembler Editor_ to write stuff for the 128, which is a total hassle.
Seems like I'm ALWAYS rebooting my machine & nuking my programming environment.
Does RAMDOS come with a version for the 64 side of my 128 so that I can run
the CBM/MAE at high-speed.  That would definitely ease the pain a bit...
