	Commodore B128-80 computer
		The Commodore B128-80 (at one time, called the C128-80), was to be the successor to the popular Commodore PET system.
		But don't feel bad for Commodore, as their VIC-20 home computer was doing very well, and the C-64, released about the same time as the B128-80, sold 10s of millions of units, and became the most popular computer system of all time.

	Commodore computer history and repair information
		The Commodore 64 was actually part of the evolution of computers marketed by CBM (Commodore Business Machines) which had previously proliferated the CBM and PET business computers into business and academic settings and who had then subsequently developed the VIC-20 computer which was the predecessor to the Commodore 64.
		Commodore compatible floppy drives made by other manufacturers also emerged, but they were independently developed (for the most part) due to the fact that the Commodore 64 and 128 drives were "intelligent peripherals" possessing chips that Commodore had decided not to license or supply to its competitors.
		Commodore even developed an incredible interactive stand-alone CD unit (based on the Amiga technology) called the CDTV which (along with Philips CDI) were the predecessors to many of the CD-based interactive game systems which followed.

	Commodore Calculators
		Commodore Business Machines (CBM), best known for their innovative and popular personal computers such as the VIC-20, 64, and Amiga, was a pioneering and major force in the pocket calculator industry.
		Through the 700/800 series, Commodore continued to use red LED displays, but by 1975 fluorescent displays were becoming increasingly popular due to their lower cost.
		Commodore had a strong European division which marketed many models that were not sold in the U.S. Many of these are recognizable by the use of the CBM name and logo.

	Sothius' Home of Ancient Microcomputers - Commodore section
		Commodore Business Machines (CBM) was founded by Jack Tramiel in 1958 and located in Silicon Valley.
		The C65, however, was cancelled for another reason: Commodore succeeded in overtaking AMIGA Inc. (a struggle with their opponent ATARI), and the C65/ C64DX project became obsolete.
		Maybe the PC line was Commodore's biggest mistake, a lesson that other famous homecomputer companies (like ATARI and AMSTRAD) had to learn as well: with their unique designs and special solutions (such as the Advanced Graphic Adaptor, AGA, or self-designed mainboards), Commodore PCs could never compete to the masses of cheap clones.
