#UNIX on a #Commodore64 - does not need fancy hardware extensions!
“The iconic #Commodore64 home computer is set to make a comeback, and a full-on return to relevance for the brand may follow, as a group of enthusiasts from the Commodore fan community have acquired all rights and #trademarks associated with the company.
The global group – including #Australian retro hardware experts and led by British actor Christian Simpson, also known as retro computer YouTube personality #PeriFractic — has formed a new incarnation of the company called Commodore International.”
…
“As well as resurrecting the beloved Commodore 64 in a way that supports technology old and new, more than 30 years after the machine was discontinued, the company plans to produce new hardware that embodies the friendly computing and creativity of the 1990s.”
“Simpson has appointed members of the Commodore enthusiast community — many of whom have previously created unofficial Commodore 64 hardware and products — to various roles in the new company. He has also engaged individuals who worked for Commodore decades ago, including the co-creator of the Commodore 64, #AlCharpentier, as technical adviser.
#JakeYoung, a manufacturer of #RetroTech based in #SouthAustralia, will serve as Commodore’s chief technology officer.”

Diesen Oktober/November kommt ein neuer original Commodore 64 Ultimate auf den Markt durch den neuen Commodore Besitzer. Er hat nur die Namens- & Logorechte an Commodore und nicht an dessen Geräten/Technik.
Was meint Ihr, hat die neue Commodore Firma Zukunft und ist es weiterhin ein Commodore?

Holy god I want one. I am not in a position to throw around cash for yet another retro computer, but the gravitational attraction of this device is like a supermassive black hole.

C64 Game of the Day
Terra Cognita (1986) by Martin C. Sexton with music by David Whittaker and published by Codemasters. More than just a shooter you either like it or hate it. Personally I like it but does require a bit of perseverance. #Commodore64 #C64 #C64GameOfTheDay
Commodore has been officially acquired now. The guy on the left side in the back (with the green print on his shirt) is a real-life Dutch friend of mine: Marvin Droogsma. Kind guy. I once sold my Amiga 1000 to him.

#WeAreCommodorIndustries and we'd like to be paid for that little C Flag.
Managed to get a Commodore 64 AEA User port to TNC cable.
* Trying to find the manual or details
* Looking for an image of the original PackRatt Software for the Commodore 64 if possible?
Anyone in the Fediverse able to help? Thanks!
I think my 10 year old brain was broken by the #Commodore64 game Moondust. It was my introduction to psychadelica. I still think of it occasionally.
