The Prodest PC-128 was a rebadged and slightly redesigned version of the French Thomson MO6, apart from case design touching up, technical features was the same as the MO6.
The Prodest PC-128 has two versions of BASIC on ROM both made by Microsoft. Almost all memory (101 KB) was accessible with BASIC thanks to a transparent 16 KB bank switching mechanism. An optional 3.5″ floppy disk drive (640 KB) was available. This machine seems having been sold in very small quantity in Italy.

This Windows application allows the user to import any image/video and to convert and compress it to a format that can be played back on a Commodore 64.
The application utilises a method of compression known as Vector Quantisation. This method of video compression was introduced on the PC quite some time ago with one of the codec’s being known as Cinepak.
Main advantage of this compression method is that decompression is extremely fast! An Ideal candidate for the Commodore C64.

SID Known is a command line tool (M$ Windows) which you can use to identify SID tunes from SID and PRG files.
This tool can be used if e.g. you want to know which SID tune is used in a specific C64 demo or C64 game, or you have a SID tune found or ripped and you want to know if it is already in your SID collection.

CBM prg Studio allows you to type a BASIC or Machine Code program in using a nice Windows environment and convert it to a ‘.prg’ file which you can run on an emulator, or even a real C64 or VIC20 if you’re feeling brave and have the right kit.
CBM prg Studio is the result of merging C64PrgGen and VIC20PrgGen. Adding new features and fixing bugs in two apps which were 95% similar was a bit of a nightmare so merging them made sense.
It was also a good opportunity for a face lift and to add some new features, such as:
- Programs are project based, meaning all related source files, sprite files etc. are kept in one place and multiple source files can be linked more easily.
- Tabbed MDI.
- Syntax highlighting.
What CBM prg Studio isn’t is a front-end for tok64, cbmcnvrt, bastext or any other tokeniser / detokeniser / assembler. It’s all been written completely from scratch.
