Re: A newer composite converter than N4

Industrial scalers are good if you know which one works and have the space. The Extron 7SC works very well with all of the Commodore 8 bit machines I have tried it on. There has been a lot of discussion about them on other sites too, so the only question is - do you have the space. Some people have...

Re: 1541 mechanism color

What about the 1541c? The case was the same lighter color as the drive on that model

My copy of this CD has vanished, and this link is dead. Is it available any where else?

Re: Miggy Owners

I finally upgraded to a GVP 68040 accelerator, with 24 Mb of RAM. I also added an HP DVD writer (internal) to the mix. I'm running OS 3.5.

Re: REU for C-64 & C-128

I have given up on this. The guy that started the whole thing (in the other forum) had indicated that he received something like 10 e-mails from people showing interest. BTW - He never reply to my e-mails. In any case I am now following this, which is already in development.. https://www.vintageist...

Re: wanted C64

As TMR posted, most books on programming are available on line. The site he directed you to is a great source for books and magazines;

http://www.bombjack.org/commodore/

You can find books on programming in most languages there. Great site, that is constantly being upgraded.
