   Thanks very much, Jim.  It's too bad the +4 didn't get wider   
   use.  The 6551 ACIA was a major improvement over the   
   horrendous emulation fiasco in the C64.  I wrote replacement   
   code for the C64, but still only got it up to 2400 baud in   
   full duplex.  The 6551 could I'm sure do 9600 baud, and   
   maybe 19,200.  You just have to service one interrupt per   
   byte, and the 6551 does all the work.   
      
   While I'm here, is there any need for an ML Monitor program   
   for the C64, or has that already been done many times?  Mine   
   is similar to the Monitor rom section found in the +4, but   
   is loaded into the C64 by a Basic loader, and you say where   
   you want it placed.  My memory is it's exactly 2K (8 pages).   
   Comes with a manual.  I think one difference between mine   
   and the +4 logic is that mine correctly moves overlapping   
   blocks in both directions, and the +4 didn't.   
      
   I also have an assembler that runs on the C64, but I assume   
   people just cross-assemble on their PCs these days.   
      
   And finally, I have an article I wrote for Transactor, but   
   they shut down before publishing it, which I think is the   
   final word on the REL file bug in the 1541.  Includes the   
   1541 rom fix to eliminate it.   
      
   If there's any use for any of this, I could post it in a   
   Github repo.
