Nice!  How well does it handle writing D64 images back to a floppy? 
I about went deaf last night while writing an image to my 1541.  My 
old Twinhead 386sx/16 laptop that I use to run Star Commander has a 
battery that's basically dead, and I need to open it up and kill the 
speaker that was howling.

I really want the Retro-Replay cart and RR-Net, but haven't been able 
to justify the cost :^(

How "interesting" is it to get the Retro-Replay working?  I gather 
from looking at the doc's that it doesn't include anything in the 
EPROM's, and that you have to get the ROM images loaded yourself?
