No, but commodore made them.

With ducktape you can. But it will not work. If you want to go 3.5 inch on a commodore 8 bit you'll need an 1581 or a CMD drive. You are not likely to run into either of those. They are rare and expensive.

No,no,no! Amiga and 8 bit commodores are in no way compatible. Forget it. Buy a nice beefy pc and install the ccs64 emulator. That emulator will give you a GHz C64  :-P

Try browsing the web some more. There is a huge ammount of info on these different computers.

Good luck.

Actually...:

1985    Jack Kahl officially re-names duct tape "Duck Tape" and creates Manco T. Duck, Manco´s mascot and ambassador of good will.

Heck, what are you going to do with "duck tape"? Tape a duck to the wall? :-)

What? Just, because I have a soft spot for the confusion that surrounds the du(c)(k)(t) tape mystery? ;-)

Yeah, but surely if it isn't 'branded' Duck tape then it's duct tape.

Anyway, having a speedup on games that were designed for the C64 will just make 'em unplayable, as anyone thats tried playing a game for an early Amiga on a later one can testify ;-)

Some games were, however, done on both C64 and Amiga, with the Amiga version being identical apart from having more colours and better sound (sometimes smoother too).

Maybe we should have a thread about duck tape vs duct tape and another favourite one:

tender hooks vs tenter hooks

 :-P

The correct term is tenter hooks.
