I think the OS in on a ROM which would be hard to get around unless the ROM was changed. Then it may not really be a Vic-20 anymore. I'm not sure about the C64 since I got me a 20Mhz oscilloscope to work on TVs and stuff. I still got the scope tho. My biggest use for my old Vic-20 was a alarm clock. Worked fine unless the power went out. Well, that sounds like todays alarm clock. lol I guess some things never change. Dale :-) :-)
