Title: New Commodore Bounty website, sd2iec Geos bounty!
Post by: redrumloa on June 21, 2010, 12:10:18 AM
How many times have you sat loading Geos from an old aging 5.25 floppy and wondered, why can't you use your state of the art uIEC device with Geos? Your voice can be heard by voting with your wallet!

Enjoy! :afro:

The donation certainly helped! The current bounty is $769.53 and we have a pending claim on the bounty! I'd say the donations have proven the site to be a success! In a short period of time we should be able to use Geos/Wheels directly from a low cost CF, SD or hard drive!
 
The question comes up, what is the next bounty? Jim Brain has suggested a few and I have a couple in mind. I will add a forum to Commodore Bounty soon, maybe tonight. I'm thinking TCP/IP ROM for the ROM socket on the 64nic+ maybe should be next.

when I can run geos off my my SD/uIEC on my 128dcr, it will feel even sweeter knowing I helped contribute toward it a little.

c64 nic socket sounds cool. how many people have the cartridge?

I have two of the 64nic! It looks like Ingo is already well on his way.
