Seriously, there is now a cloud drive for your C64...
I heard about it, but wasn't quite visualizing how kual this was, till I ran across this on youtube:


Now, that's pretty wicked!!
If my C64 was working (sad sad sad), I'd be all over that!!!

p.s. This has me thinking. I have a serial-ethernet device I use to get my Amiga on telnet BBSes.. These devices (which are showing up frequently on e-bait as business upgrade their hardware to ethernet enabled devices) should allow any device that has a serial port to do the same..
Imagine an IP version of ADTPro or apple game server for the Apple II???
Hmm...

Well - it certinaly emulates a 1541 speed pretty well

Neat idea - but too slow and I would imagine you have the same hassle FTP'ing your 'disks' to the cloud server.

A nice SD card solution is much more feasible IMHO

Well, adtpro does support ethernet...

Oh yeah, I forgot about that..
Although, that is "real ethernet." If you have a true ethernet card for your Apple II, which are great, but spendy..

This guy is fake ethernet.. :-) From the Apple's (Or C64 or ?) perspective, it would be serial.
It's ethernet on the destination side...

That is similar to the http://www.commodorelive.com/ hardware/software being developed by a fellow AtariAger.
