CBM-Command is a disk manager for the Commodore 64 / Commodore 128 / Commodore VIC20 and Commodore C16 computers. It is written like Norton Commander or Midnight Commander, but is much simpler due to the target platforms. Both the C128/C64/VIC20/C16 have their own native version of the application.
Release Notes – Version 2.1 – 2012-02-02 – Final Release
This version is intended to replace all prior versions you may have downloaded. Please see release notes for prior versions to get comprehensive list of changes.
New Features:
- It can detect the formats of Creative Micro Design’s partitions and sd2iec’s disk images.
- It knows automatically when to create either single-sided (D64) or double-sided (D71) images.
- CBM 8050 and CBM 8250 (SFD-1001) disk copier.
Changes from 2.1rc2:
- After showing a message, the status line always will let you know when you have tapped the RETURN-key.
Changes from 2.1rc1:
- It won’t create a sub-directory with a null name.
Changes from 2.0:
- A better help file.
- Fixed batch delete: it can remove many more files in one pass.
- After a rename, it shows both the new and old names (you can verify that you changed what you wanted to change).
- It is better at catching and reporting disk/file errors.
- It is less likely to be jammed by missing drives.
- It has improved support for RELative files.
- It copies all of the data in IDE64 files.
- The panels show the disks’ format codes.
- The image creater says which image format it plans to make. Now, it tells you before it asks for a file-name (to remind you about which suffix to use in the name).
- Cleaner VIC-20 screens.
Known Issues:
- It can trigger the write-and-replace bug.
- It can’t create or write back D80 and D82 images.
- It can’t create or read images with error-blocks or extended tracks.
- The REL-file copier doesn’t truncate old target files that have the same record size as the new file.
- It will try to copy DEL files if they are selected.
- Errors don’t stop batch operations; the file is skipped.

SIO2Arduino is an Atari 8-bit (800/XL/XE) device emulator that runs on the Arduino platform. It currently emulates a single Atari 1050 disk drive (D1:) but there are plans to extend it to support multiple drives as well as other devices.
In its current state, SIO2Arduino allows you to put single and enhanced density Atari 8-bit disk images (ATR, XFD, XEX and many PRO and ATX) onto a microSD card and boot them on real Atari hardware.

Kickass IDE for Commodore 64 is a software application which runs under M$ Windows that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development.
IDEs are designed to maximize programmer productivity by providing tightly-knit components with similar user interfaces. This should mean that the programmer has to do less mode switching versus using discrete development programs.

My Work Bench for small electronic Repair.
This is an AVR MMC/SD boot loader compatible with HolgerBootloader2. Based on a heavily modified version of ChaN’s FatFs library.
SD2IEC is a hardware mass storage device using an SD/MMC card and interfacing with the IEC bus. It is based on the ATmega644 or ATmega1284p microcontroller from the Atmel AVR microcontroller family.
The most prominent use of SD2IEC is emulation/replacement of a Commodore-1541 disk drive for a C64. Hardware and the microcontroller’s firmware is available as open source (GPL).
Changelog:
2012-01-22 – release 0.3
- Further size optimizations.
- Enable FAT12 on uIEC3.

CBM prg Studio Version 2.0.0 Beta released. There are a lot of new features in this version, which is why it has been released as a beta. I’d really appreciate it if you report any bugs you find or have any suggestions/comments.
Note that because it is a beta version it can be ran from its own directory, there’s no need to uninstall your current version of CBM prg Studio.
CBM prg Studio allows you to type a BASIC or Machine Codeprogram 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.
NOTE: This is effectively a bug fix for the beta version of 2.0.0 which was released last December, although there are a few new minor features (mostly for the screen designer) and other ‘enhancements’.
