I thought Vic20 JiffyDos was already  being sold a year or two ago?

It was produced and sold by Maurice Randall at one time, but is no longer available. Retro Innovation currently holds a JiffyDOS license from CMD, but it does not include Maurice Randall overlay for the Vic20.

Here is what Jim Brain had to say on the subject:

Quote

* JiffyDOS for VIC-20
     * JiffyDOS for +4/C16/C116:  While there  are ports floating around,
       they are mired with uncertain  copyrights, and I cannot legally
       obtain all the clearances.   I've been instructed by Mark Fellows
       to just re-port them.   THe VIC-20 one is easy, but time is short
       around here.  The  +4 one will require more work.

Glad to see a JiffyDOS still available.  Bravo, Brain!  Especially for my MSD-2 drives... would love to get those Jiffy'd.  Was there ever a release for the Enhancer 2000?  I have two of those units.
