*** C64 (PCLINK container files) *** Document revision: 1.3 *** Last updated: March 11, 2004 *** Contributors/sources: Markus Mehring This is another "C64-to-PC" connection program. It was written by Peter Jakab in 1994. With it and a custom interface cable, you could link your C64 and PC together to use the PC's hard disk as a C64 storage device. Files you wanted to be seen would have to be in this ".C64" format. (Note: don't confuse these files with PC64's .C64 saved-session files) 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F ASCII ----------------------------------------------- ---------------- 00: 38 CD 81 06 50 43 4C 49 4E 4B 20 20 20 00 00 00 8-??PCLINK?????? 10: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ???????????????? 20: 00 00 00 00 01 08 0B 08 00 00 9E 32 30 36 31 00 ???????????2061? 30: 00 00 78 A2 FB 9A 20 18 E5 20 55 10 A9 00 8D 20 ??x???????U????? Bytes: $00-01: PCLINK file signature ($38 $CD) 02: PRG filetype ($81, *not* $82 as you would expect). No other filetype was supported. 03: Filename length ($06) 04-13: Filename (16 bytes allotted, name padded with $00's) 14-23: Miscellaneous field (16 bytes allotted) - this was never implemented. 24-: File data starts here PCLINK also supports DOS BINARY files if their filename started with a "#". These files would have no header. |
