Im not sure on the 1551's memory layout... And I can't find my book at the moment - room is a mess :-) But from what I remember it has about
2-8K or ram(ish) and some comm lines somewhere... but until I find the book to refresh my memory.... no idea. You could try the VICE source... The All games must work with the 1541 as well, so perhaps you should get that working first? Theres loads of info on this about the NET - VICE being a good place to start I'd think...
