Thanks for all the replies! Yes, located near Vancouver. It was seen at a recycling depot in Maple Ridge (approx. 45 min drive east of Vancouver). I've been wondering about this for many... many years - looks like mystery solved. So sad I wasn't able to save it. I'd jump at the chance if if somethin...

HUGE (Dishwasher Sized) COMMODORE Mainframe?

About 15 years ago I was a local recycle depot where a HUGE Commodore branded piece of computer equipment showed up. My recollections of this piece of hardware are unfortunately vague, and I don't recall much else other than size (about the size of a dishwasher & very heavy), the fact it was bra...

Are you sure you're interested? They are pretty old, and I don't even have the manuals! :wink:

Hi Everyone! You're welcome for the pictures, Happy to Share! :D Feel free to post them to the wiki if you like. What would I go about dumping the roms?

Forgot to mention there were a few more carts that came with this batch, but they are obviously regular production models.

I was "lucky" enough to have my own 12" black & white tv for my C64, Atari Games, etc.

Sorta on topic, my father would get angry whenever I hooked anything up to the 28" ("Big Screen") Color TV. He claimed it was going to "ruin" the TV.

I bought this lot. :D

Yes, I'd be happy to share high-res photos & I'm open to the idea of having the roms dumped for comparison & archival purposes.

Currently still waiting for the package to arrive.

Significance of Brown VIC-20 Cases, with Eprom Boards?

Hi everyone! Does anyone know the significance of these brown VIC-20 cases (vs regular beige cases)? The boards inside have an eprom on them as well, which seemed unusual. I was thinking perhaps they were early releases? Anyone know?

Commodore e-VIC Mp3 Player?

Stumbled across this...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Commodore-E-Vic ... B000CS4LW8

So what do you think, did they licence the name brand or is this a knock off? I'm thinking licenced since it's on Amazon like this.
