Commodore 65

	Commodore 128 review. Your Computer June 1985
		Commodore deserves applause from all quarters of the industry for at last establishing compatibility within their range, yet producing a really exciting new machine.
		It is to all intents and purposes a Commodore 64.
		Basic 7.0, which is available in the 128K mode, is the most extensive version of Basic yet to be released by Commodore.

	Commodore BASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Commodore BASIC (also known as PET BASIC) is the dialect of BASIC used in Commodore International's 8-bit home computer line, stretching from the PET of 1977 to the C128 of 1985.
		Commodore BASIC keywords could be abbreviated by entering at least one letter, and then a shifted version of the next letter on.
		Most of the contemporary BASIC implementations used one byte for the characteristic (exponent) and three bytes for the mantissa.

		The goal of Project 64 is to preserve Commodore 64 related documents in electronic text format that might otherwise cease to exist with the rapid advancement of computer technology and declining interest in 8- bit computers on the part of the general population.
		BASIC as used on the C-64 is an Interpreted language, each Command in BASIC calls upon one or more built in Machine Language routines during execution.
		BASIC responds by displaying the whole program on the screen, starting with the lowest line number and displaying lines in ascending order until the end of the program is reached If the program is large, it may scroll off the top of the screen as it is being listed.

	Commodore history. Pet, VIC20, C64, SX-64, C16, Plus/4, C128.
		Commodore International, a manufacturer of electronic products, was a leading player in the early years of the personal-computer revolution.
		Commodore was founded by Jack Tramiel in 1954 as a typewriter repair service.
		Commodore had now upgraded to BASIC V7.0 and provided three modes of operation, total C64 compatibility, a new C128 mode in either 40 or 80 columns and CP/M capability.

	Basic Language
		Generally, the basic interpreters that came with the various 8-bit micros were developed by the companies that manufactured the computer (Apple, Atari, Commodore, etc.) MicrosoftBasic was a replacement BASIC.
		Basic was designed as a LanguageForTeaching, however, it was badly designed for that.
		However, Basic was very easy to implement (there is even dds, an entry to the 1990 InternationalObfuscatedCeeCodeContest that implements a Basic interpreter in only 8 lines of C).

	Simons' Basic.
		(Commodore's founder and president, Jack Tramiel, should adopt the kid and make him heir to the company fortune, or at least pay him enough to keep him writing for his computers for life.) According to the official company legend, Simons surveyed other Basics and their extensions and picked from among their features.
		Simons' Basic is packaged as a ROM cartridge, and should be available by the time you read this.
		Commodore had better be planning to manufacture lots of copies because they will go fast.

	Commodore 64 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Released in August 1982, the Commodore 64 is commonly referred to as the C64 (sometimes written C= 64 to mimic the Commodore company logo) and occasionally known as CBM64 (its model designation), C-64 or VIC-64 (a label used by some users, magazine writers, third party advertisements and also by Commodore in Sweden [1]).
		The Commodore 64 is still used today by many computer hobbyists, and emulators allow anyone with a modern computer (or even smartphones such as the sx1) to run these programs on their desktop (with varying degrees of success and functionality).
		The Commodore 64 is commonly seen as an icon of the 1980s.

	Atari BASIC – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
		Basically because of two problems – a poor implementation of line number lookups in loops and jumps, and a poor implementation of multiply and divide.
		The exceptions to the rule were the most basic functions of all, it assumed that either the hardware or the implementation team would provide their own versions of add, subtract, multiply and divide.
		The version of BASIC that went out with the machines (later known as "Version A") was in fact a beta from SMI, but Atari went ahead and burned that onto the ROMs.

	Commodore PET FAQ
		BASIC Line Relocation Method: Here is a way to get the BASIC editor to do it for you; of course you will need to have an upgrade ROM or later PET (which has a ML monitor) or load in a monitor for your original ROM PET first.
		When Commodore designed the Plus/4 and Commodore 16 they broke alot of standards they had previously established for their 8-bits (and fortunately went back to in the C128); besides the plug designs, they changed the sound-frequency of the signals used to record on tape.
		There are only a few, the first popular one was produced by Commodore for the Commodore 64, it is able to run many PET BASIC games with POKE commands properly converted and a little M/L. It's intent was to help those PET owners who upgraded to a 64 back in the early 80s...

	Commodore 128D computer
		The Commodore 128 and 128D came out in 1985, the same year as the amazing Commodore Amiga.
		Two years later, Commodore finally had a version for sale in the U.S. This model is known as the 128DCR, for Cost Reduced.
		While the Commodore 128 has a nice, high resolution 80 column display, the most powerful BASIC programming language ever released by Commodore, and a built-in C64 mode for convenience, it wasn't enough to compete with the new crop of computers.

		The Commodore 64 could also use a number of the Atari 2600 accessories, namely the various flight sticks and joysticks like those made by Wico.
		While the Commodore 64 hasn't been so popular in the United State in recent years, it still goes strong in Europe and is especially popular in Germany.

	DAVES OLD COMPUTERS - Commodore PET
		Commodore (a calculator company) thought it was a good idea to put a calculator style keyboard on their first computer...
		All other PET models use a Commodore manufactured keyboard which consists of plungers with "conductive rubber" bottoms that connect "fingered" traces on a PCB when the key is pressed down - This suggests that Commodore may have been in a bit of a hurry to get the typewriter layout keyboard into the PET.

		So about the time Commodore came out with their 3008 PET computer (including BASIC V3, with very minor differences from V2), they introduced the 3040 Dual Disk Drive.
		It had BASIC V4, 32K of RAM, a 12-inch 80-column monitor (the old machines had 40 column screens), and a more business-like keyboard.
		It was basically a one drive, serial bus version of the 4040.

	Commodore BASIC's USR function
		It is, however, very useful for adding functions to the BASIC, without having to modify the whole of the BASIC.
		In his 2nd Basic Project, starting in the 8/1999 issue, Arndt Dettke mentioned the lack of a modulo operator, one that calculates the remainder of an integer division.
		We are using a number of the BASIC ROM floating point routines to implement this, since we both receive the arguments and have to give the return values in floating point.

		This page is intended to give a decent overview of the capabilities of the Commodore 64/128 and some of it's peripherals.
		Therefore, due to it's low power output, the SX is not suitable for use with a SuperCPU or a Commodore 17xx REU, due to the power needs of those devices.
		It is more practical to stop at 8 chips (to keep the I/O usage to one page), but in practice most users either stick with the single on-board SID, or they add one via a plug-in cartridge (total of 6 voices).

	BASIC-256 - Programming for Kids (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
		I had a Commodore 64, which had a BASIC on it that was just a step above assembly language.
		The truth is, the BASIC most of us grew up with was hopelessly low-level.
		Making the transition from Commodore BASIC to Commodore assembly language was simple, because Commodore BASIC was so limited, just like assembly.

	The Commodore P-500 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
		Commodore, wanting to get customers committed to buying the then unreleased B-128 and P-500s sent dealers 'demo units' (read 'beta test units') of the two machines for display to impress customers.
		Of course the FCC got on Commodore's case and Commodore recalled all the units (except those that had been sold or those the stores refused to return.)
		Sometime after that (I assume) Commodore found the 64 being popular (and cheaper than the P-500) and decided only to just release the B-128.

		Commodore makes a low-priced color monitor which is specially engineered to provide maximum sound and picture quality on Commodore computers.
		BASIC programs are typically numbered by tens (10, 20, 30 and so on)...
		Because your COMMODORE 64 has the ability to generate speech simultaneously and independently of music and graphics, sometimes it becomes necessary to tell the computer to wait until speech is completed so that an animation, song or sound effect is properly timed in relation to speech.
