Many years ago, I bought a VIC-20 (I was young and naive). I have now
matured to the point where I own an A500 (512K, single floppy drive).

The VIC just sits in my parents attic collecting dust (at last, something
the VIC does well!). My question is this: what can I do with my VIC?

A friend suggested using it as a file server, but it only has a tape drive,
no floppy.  I have considered using it to make tape backups of disks, but
there must be SOMETHING a little more useful it can do.

I dont mind doing a little hardware hacking. In fact, I'm taking a course
this summer in micro-processor hardware hacking and I need a course project.

Being new to Amiga's and computer architecture, I have little grasp of what
the Mongoloid might be used for.  Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thnx.
