Related Links / Thanks

The following links were used in the research and helped me realizing the SOASC= project.
A big thanks must go to ALL the people behind these sites and their magnificient work. Either for
the Commodore 64 specifically or just in general. Without these people and their results, the SOASC= project could never been done!

A much more focused "thanks" goes also to Svein Engelsgjerd for putting explosives to the fire and giving
moral/psychologic support for this project! He is also responsible for designing the RELAY card
schematics for me and hosts the SOASC= forums and the most excellent online PHP/C coded database!
Universal thanks, Mr. Waxhead!

And lastly, my friend from my youth, SmartASS (a steady Amiga and C64 enthusiast), keeps our server powered
on and provides a 15Mbit/s connection. Huge thanks!!! Be sure to visit his Satellite webshop to make him, us and
yourself happy - www.sagi.no
