The team from dienstagstreff.de has demonstrated a Commodore C64 on the “Hobby und Elektronik 2010” in Stuttgart.
Demonstrating a C64 is not so special but this time the C64 was under water! They submersed a C64 circuit-board in water, connected it to a power supply and a monitor and the C64 work without problems for 1 hour.

Autopsy:
Today i picked up two Commodore 64, both are in poor condition and Broken.
The first one with the chip SID 6581 can play a garbled sound and the closing hooks broken, the other one with the chip PLA 906114, 7406, CIA 6526 dead. I made some cleaning and repaired the problems.

MSX was the name of a standardized home computer architecture in the 1980s conceived by Kazuhiko Nishi, then Vice-president at Microsoft Japan and Director at ASCII Corporation. It is said that Microsoft led the project as an attempt to create unified standards among hardware makers.
from Wikipedia:
On 27 June 1983, the date considered the birthday of the MSX standard, the MSX was formally announced during a press-conference, and a slew of big Japanese firms declared their plans to introduce machines. The Japanese companies avoided the intensely competitive US home computer market, which was in the throes of a Commodore-led price war.
Only Spectravideo and Yamaha briefly marketed MSX machines in the US. Spectravideo’s MSX enjoyed very little success, and Yamaha’s CX5M model, built to interface with various types of MIDI equipment, was billed more as a digital music tool than a standard personal computer.

A new version of the firmware for the interface 1541 Ultimate I / II is released.
This version also runs on the Ultimate-I! (Of course, only the features that MK1-hardware supports will show.. no RTC, no USB, no C2N (tape), etc…)
This is a MAJOR update from RCA! Please note that former versions had issues with writing back data to .D64 images.
Your copies that you made with former 2.0RCx versions might be corrupt!!
Major improvement in latest release:
With great pleasure I found two photo of xad (me) and The Ripper on the Amiga magazine: Eurochart by Crusaders.
A free brand new C16/Plus4 special edition of Your Commodore is now available.
It includes every games review they published for the 264 series. Every “Our Comment” monthly feature. All the Data Statement news, all the type-in games and a review of both the C16 and Plus/4 themselves.
As always, all the scans have been straightened, reformatted and cleaned up, no yellowing of the pages to give a nice fresh original magazine feel. A brand new cover design and a new index page which I (hastily) designed for this retrospective lookback of yet another classic british magazine.
