Why do I say this?
Who remebers the C64 days with geeky stuff like:
-Modifying the case with LEDs to check the processor bus (paralell port)
-Running assembler code in the 1541 floppy drive to get multiprocessor power
-Installing extra switches to get hardware reset (NMI interupts I guess it was)
-Enabling the Z80 4MHz processor in the C128 for more performance for heavvy tasks.
-Switching between 1 & 2MHz mode in the C128 with help of the screen refresh interupt at adress x314 --> running 2MHz while the screen was not drawn --> gained considerable performance in Basic
The list goes on. Anyone else remember any tricks from that time?
