	Commodore CBM-II - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Commodore CBM-II series was a short-lived series of personal computers from Commodore International, intended as a follow-on to the Commodore PET series, released in 1982.
		An optional Intel 8088-based coprocessor board allowed the CBM series to run CP/M-86 and MS-DOS 1.25; however, the computers were not IBM PC Compatible and very little, if any, software taking advantage of this capability ever appeared.
		The B128 did not sell well, and ultimately Commodore's inventory was liquidated by Protecto Enterprises, a large Commodore mail order dealer based in Chicago, Illinois.

	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.

	Commodore PET 2001 computer
		There was an earlier Commodore computer, the KIM-1, but Commodore didn't design it, they inherited it when they bought MOS Technologies, who designed and produced computer chips - the KIM-1 was a way to demonstrate the power of the MOS 6502 CPU to the industrial community.
		When Commodore wanted a reliable source of chips for their computers, they bought MOS, renamed it as the Commodore Semiconductor Group, and Chuck Peddle became a full-time Commodore employee.

	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 / cbm
		Commodore, quoted at $60 million on the New York Stock Exchange, has acquired 100 per cent of the equity of MOS Technology Inc of Pennsylvania in exchange for a 9-4 per cent equity stake in Commodore.
		The integrated circuit chip that went into CBM's successful SR36/37 calculator came from MOS Technology, as does the current chip for the SR7919D calculator (a model which is rumoured to have around 25 per cent of the UK scientific calculator market) and others of the current CBM range.
		Commodore was to remain in the calculator business into the late 1970s, with a range of specialised calculators having many features, such as the S61 statistical calculator, and introduced several LCD models, before concentrating on personal computers.

	Secret Weapons of Commodore: The CBM 900
		The Commodore 900 ran a modified port of Mark Williams' Coherent UNIX v0.7.3 (some 0.7.2), a prototype version, and was intended as a mainframe-class machine with multitasking, timesharing, virtual memory, multi-user capabilities -- what you would expect from a Typical Un*x Mainframe.
		Speaking of cards, the CBM 900 was supposed to be highly expandable; Dave says the expansion cards designed for the 900 were actually stacked on each other, a la PC 104-style.
		Commodore briefly experimented with porting SVR4 Unix to the Amiga 2500, coined "Amix" and rumoured to be highly stable and effective as a server operating system.

	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.

	Commodore CBM-II in TutorGig Encyclopedia
		Both P and B series used a MOS Technology 6509 CPU, an enhanced version of the venerable 6502, that was capable of addressing up to 1 megabyte of RAM via bank switching (however, no CBM-II model came with more than 256 kilobytes of RAM, 1/4 megabyte).
		The sound chip was the 6581 SID, the same one that was used in the popular Commodore 64 (C64).
		Neither the CBM128-80 nor the B128 are to be confused with the very different and reasonably successful Commodore 128 (also known as CBM 128 and C128), Commodore's final 8-bit home/personal computer, released in 1985.

		Commodore (a calculator company) thought it was a good idea to put a calculator style keyboard on their first computer...
		Responding to complaints that the "graphic" keyboard, which had symbols in the top row (normally numbers) was hard for professional typists to use, Commodore created a variant of the PET called CBM (Commodore Business Machines).
		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.

	The PET gets serious.
		Although these machines are advanced "PET" computers, the reasoning for labeling them "CBM" instead of "PET" may have had more to do with the business marketing plan than the problems that plagued the CBM 3001 series.
		Commodore intially produced and made available 64k upgrade boards that would give the 8032 an impressive 96k of memory.
		Later, Commodore produced a new model of computer, the CBM 8096, which contained the boards already installed.

	Ruud's Commodore Site: CBM-HD
		The problems I encountered are all related to the fact that the CBM is much more time critical then the C64 is. To give you a good example, in PC-Disk I didn't collect the data for displaying the directory until the actual TALK command was received.
		In the first case the data is sent as one file, in the second case the transfer is interrupted all the time by the CBM every one or more bytes.
		The frustrating thing was that the CBM accepted the extra byte(s) but a debug session showed that it had not used it.

	They're really "B"-eutiful
		As mentioned on the page for the B128, the CBM-II models were Commodore's last effort to capture the business market with it's superior proprietary technology.
		The low serial number, CBM P500 back plate, West German construction, and top-mounted power supply point to its very early construction.
		However, the CBM 700 EPROM chips inside are of typical Commodore factory make, and are mounted on typical Commodore factory make 28-24 pin adaptors.

	Commodore PET 3032 @ Computer Museum .it
		Il Commodore CBM 3032 è il diretto successore del glorioso PET-2001: ne ricalca la caratteristica forma spigolosa, con il monitor trapezoidale unito al cabinet metallico.
		Dal punto di vista estetico il Commodore CBM 3032 si colloca ad un livello più professionale: la piccola e scomoda pulsantiera del 2001 è stata infatti sostituita da una tastiera standard, con un tastierino numerico separato.
		Il Commodore CBM 3032 costituisce un notevole passo avanti rispetto al PET-2001: resta comunque intatto il fascino della prima serie di computer professionali della Commodore, sospesi a metà tra la prima generazione di scatole metalliche dalle possibilità apparentemente sconfinate e la nuova era del computer domestico aperto ad ogni sperimentazione.

		The PET-series was renamed to CBM when Philips threatened Commodore with a lawsuit in case they would continue to use the 'PET'-notations on their machines.
