Picked mine up today! HOLY CRAP, they used a Denial
screenshot showing my Vic-20/C16 mod! :D :D :D

Awesome article! I've picked up these mags before, but the
price here in the states kept me from being a regular reader.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I think the last auction is a different Vic, the first 'worked perfectly', this last one 'has problem with characters'. Still, I like the idea that the seller agreed to ship just part of the action and resell the remainder. No everyone needs another vic in their collection, and this way someone who ...

Commodore 16 internal memory expansion

Hi everyone! I was repairing a C64 with a bad memory chip this weekend, and had to sort through all my bins until I found the right one. I sorted a bunch of others out, and looked up some of their datasheets. That started me thinking what some of them could be used for, and I checked out the schemat...

Super cool! :shock: However, the Xilinx board he uses to run it costs $500 on the xilinx site. :? Even at ebay prices, I can buy a lot of vics for that! Will a cheaper board work? They have a starter board for $150. http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards/s3_sk_promo.htm I would love to build one of t...

Both in mini binders, with users manuals, and inside pocket for the disk. I ...

VIC-1200

OK, made you look :lol: http://home.alltel.net/bf63349/pix/vic1201.JPG This is my 100 post, so I had to do something funny! :roll: The thing in the picture is actually labeled 'VIC-1200', however, it has nothing to do with Commodore. It was some video interface box they threw out at work, when I saw...

Hi all, First off, Merry Christmas! (In case I don't post for a while) OK, Logan (my brother) gets 8 passes (a year, I believe) to pass out to anyone he wants.

Well, the graphics on tutorial worked fine, so that means TED is okay, right? Is there some graphics mode I need to try to fully verify the TED chip? If you don't need the keyboard, I don't have to ship it. It will reduce shipping to Canada, it wouldn't affect US shipping much. If you don't want the...

Working Commodore 16 motherboard on ebay

Hi, Just in case anyone here is looking to fix a C16, I am selling a working motherboard on ebay. I will ship overseas, but it is NTSC, so I doubt there would be much interest in that. Make me an offer! I want to clean out some stuff I don't need. EDIT: :oops: Here's the link! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws...

I might be able to make it to a TPUG meeting!

Hey all, My brother works in the aviation industry, and just announced he accepted a job as co-pilot for Republic Airways! He will fly Embraer 170's for the east coast regional company, but they do get into Canada: Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Halifax. I am not sure yet if he can get his family cu...

That is a copy of the public domain series of disks that CBM put out.
