I've successfully used the 1764 with my C128 for over four months now.  In
fact, GEOS 128 directly recognizes the 1764 as a RAM 1541.  However, the only
other program I've found that works with the 1764 in 128 mode is the public
domain program REUtility.  In 64 mode, however, the 1764 does just fine.  But
since I have such limited use for it in 128, I have the REU plugged into an
expansion cartridge where I can switch it on or off instead of unplugging
it.  As I understand it, the only difference between the 1764 and the 1750
is the resistor and eight chips.  In fact, I know of at least one person (and
have heard of others) who have installed the eight chips and effectively
turned their 1764 into a 1750--an option I'm considering if the chips can
be found in these chip-famished days.
