Well first off to fix the problems with the 1571's you need to get the new
version of the ROMS. I have them and they work beautifully. They also read
1541 formatted disk and recognize them as such just as quick as they do with
a 1571 formatted double sided disk. They also correct some of the other odd
bugs that were found in the original 1571 roms. I bought mine for $30 from
a computer show and have been happy with them.

In regards to Bob's Term Pro for the Commodore 128, I called the company and
spook to a customer service rep. They said that "because of insufficient memory
in the 128, it can not handle full screen editing". That is pure bull. We have
a Radio Shack model II in work that does all of the screen editing, etc. with
no problems whatsoever. I have found one that does seem to work properly and it
comes with the quantum link disk. It is called VT100 and works ok. I have also
got replies for other VT100 emulators and when I get them, I will post it on
the net and then if you want them you can let me know via mail.
