December 5th, 2012 No comments

I have received this computer Commodore CBM 8296-D 1 year ago. The computer has never worked, it only displays a black screen without any sound beep at the startup boot.

The repair it was very simple, i have replaced the PLA IC 324745-01 (UE5) and 324744-01 (UE6) with two EPROM 27C512 70ns (suitably programmed). The Universal PLA adapter was kindly donated by Manosoft.

Hoxs64 Commodore 64 Emulator Updated v1.0.7.5

November 29th, 2012 No comments

Hoxs64 written by David Horrocks is a Commodore 64 emulator for Microsoft Windows 2K/XP/Vista/Seven (DirectX 9+)

The emulator substantially reproduces this legacy machine in minute detail.

Changelog:

  • Added point and click raster position breakpoints. Breakpoints can be disabled with out being deleted.
  • Added command window with assemble, disassemble and C64 memory map selection.
  • Added disassemble window address finder.
  • Added disassemble window mouse wheel scrolling (WinXP+).
  • Randomisation of drive weak bits. Minor drive timing improvement.
  • The application is marked as “DPI Aware”. All Windows GUI elements are DPI aware and will render smooth clear text when used with Windows 7′s “make text bigger” option. Only the windowed mode C64 bitmapped rendering remains non DPI aware as with previous versions.
  • Added a work in progress breakpoint listview with context menu options “Show Address” and “Delete All Breakpoints”
  • Illegal opcode tweak for demo ‘Errata’ by Emulamer.
  • CRASHFIX: Fixed stack corruption crash when reading G64 files with custom speed zones.
  • CRASHFIX: Fixed application lock up bug while drag scrolling the disassembly window.

A rare Commodore 65 on eBay

November 28th, 2012 No comments

A rare Commodore 65 on eBay.

from Wikipedia:

The Commodore 65 (also known as the C64DX, not to be confused with the Commodore SX-64 portable unit) was a prototype computer created by Fred Bowen and others at Commodore Business Machines (CBM) (part of Commodore International) in 1990–1991. The project was cancelled by CEO Irving Gould.

The C65 was an improved version of the Commodore 64, and it was meant to be backwards-compatible with the older computer, while still providing a number of advanced features close to those of the Amiga. It can be regarded as a counterpart to the Apple IIgs in providing 16-bit-equivalent technology on an 8-bit platform, though the IIgs used an 8/16 bit 65C816 processor. When Commodore International was liquidated in 1994, a number of prototypes were sold on the open market, and thus a few people actually own a Commodore 65. Estimates as to the actual number of machines found on the open market range from 50 to 2000 units.

As the C65 project was cancelled, the final 8-bit offering from CBM remained the triple-mode, 1–2 MHz, 128 kB (expandable), C64-compatible Commodore 128 of 1985.
