Commodore Computer

Reviews discuss the Commodore 64 (introduced 1982, produced until 1994, over 17 million units sold), the Amiga A500 and its "Guru Meditation" era memories, and the rare C65 prototype now sought by collectors.

From the reviews: the C64 used the MOS Technology 6510 CPU, the VIC-II video chip, and the SID-6581 sound chip. The C64 sold over 17 million units; a gold C64 was presented at CES in 1984. The Amiga A500 used a Motorola 68000 CPU and the Agnus/Denise/Paula chipset; its error message was nicknamed "Guru Meditation". The C65 existed as a prototype and has become a collectors' item. Reviews also mention hardware/extensions such as the SuperCPU, FD-2000 drives, Turbo 232, Action Replay/VCF cartridges, and software/tools like SEUCK, Mac Music and Fast Hack'em.

Short selection of DeBaser reviews about Commodore hardware and culture. Highlights include the C64 user manual, memories of the Amiga "Guru Meditation" error, and the collectible C65 prototype. The pieces are fond, sometimes playful, and grounded in hands-on nostalgia.
