I'd heard of that.  However, a friend of mine hooked up his C128 to
his PClone and ran CS-DOS on the 128.  He was able to do 9600bps
transfers with no hardware mods.  (Nice!)

Try PaperClip III/64 at 2400 baud.  Very nice, although I have an
occasional lockup (may be just the amount of extra junk I have loaded
onto my 64 systems)

Where'd the EPROMs come into the discussion?  :-)
