Simple Answers to Common Questions:
======================================================================
Q: Are there any Hard Disks for the C64?
A: Yes, Xetec makes Hard Disks for the C-64/128 also there is a
Company called CMD (Creative Micro Designs) that makes Hard Disks for
the Commodore, they were scheduled to start shipping on late Feb 1990.
Also, there was another manufacturer, ICT, that used to made Data
Chief or Mini Chief Hard Disk.  Also, Commodore used to made Hard Disk
that would connect to the C64/128 by using a IEEE-488 interface.
======================================================================
Q: Are there any Archive sites for the C64 or C128?
A: Yes, currently there are a couple ftp sites and one mail archive server.
The ftp sites are:
	tolsun.oulu.fi             128.214.5.6
	maxwell.physics.purdue.edu 128.46.135.3

[ED Note-  Can Somebody send me an updated list of FTP sites and the
address of the Disk_Archive?]
======================================================================
Q: Is there any C compiler for the Commodore 64/128?
A: There are 2 commercial C compilers for the Commdore 64.
	Super-C (from Abacus Software) and
	Power-C (From Spinnaker's Better Working Series)
Both have a reasonable user base and user support, so asking which
one is better will get you to nowhere.
Super-C seems to have better library and Math support, but Power-C
has better support for Developing Software.
Also, it is Worth Mentioning that Spinaker has stopped producing
Power-C and all its Progammer oriented products (Power Basic and Power
Assembler).
