Hehe.  I actually wrote a bunch of silly apps in assembly a few years ago 
to do this type of thing in a more controlled (controllable?) way.  I've 
picked the idea up, dusted it off, and decided to persue it again (which is 
the whole reason I'm trying to get my old SX64 working again in the first 
place).

This time around I'm using the cc65 C cross-compiler under Linux to save 
some development time (I'd love to do my assembly coding on the C64, but it 
takes forever).  http://www.cc65.org/   Plus it is super cool to write C 
code in Emacs under Linux, compile it, and send the results straight out to 
an attached 1541.  :-)


>I wonder what noises the 1541 makes???  That disk drive is so fucked up....

Hehe, theres nothing in the world like that machine gun clack of the 
stepper moter hitting the end of its range (during formatting, and as part 
of lots of copy-protection schemes).  Tiz another thing that the mic has 
been pointed at.  ;-)
