64COPY is an all-purpose DOS and C64 emulator file manager, modelled after Norton Commander, and runs fine under the Windows XP/2000 DOS VDM, or in real DOS.
64COPY will run in a Windows Vista 32-bit VDM, but Vista 64-bit has no VDM support at all. It specializes in converting and manipulating emulator files between various formats. 64COPY does not do any communication to the 1541/71/81 floppy drives to read disks. If that is what you need, download Star Commander for that task.
Some of what 64COPY does includes:
- File conversion between D64 (all types, including the F64 variant), D71, D81, D80, D82, DNP, D2M, T64, G64, ZipCode (all types), PC64 (Pxx, Sxx, Uxx, Rxx), LNX, DOS binaries, ARC, CRT, SDA, X64, LBR, ARK, SPY and CPK files.
- A very powerful 6502 Disassembler.
- TEXT, HEX and D64 HEX editors.
- FILE viewer.
- BASIC unlister.
- D64, D71, D81, D80 & D82 directory customizer.
- Check disks and T64, ZipCode, G64, F64 and CRT files for errors.
- A whole lot more!

As announced at the C4 EXPO, I am working with Mark Fellows (Highland IT Solutions) to finalize a licensing agreement for ‘JiffyDOS’ ROM Overlay manufacture and distribution.
In addition to hardware ROM enhancement units, I will also offer image downloads for 1541 Ultimate, C64DTV, and emulator users, as well as an amnesty offering for unlicensed copies.
To minimize manual manufacturing processes inherent in the current EPROM-based JiffyDOS offerings, my goal is to utilize the ROM-el EEPROM/FLASH solution for JiffyDOS hardware offerings.

This beta release of the 1541-III firmware holds lot’s and lot’s of new features. But the most important feature of it all also makes it the most useable version of all 1541-III firmware releases. Why, because it supports JiffyDos. JiffyDos consists of a fastloader that makes all disk acces much and much faster. Making the use of your precious commodore much more fun.
For those who are not familiar with the JiffyDos, just google, otherwise, thrust me. It’s really usefull. JiffyDos speeds up ALL your diskacces. Programs or games without a fastloader used to be slow… but suddenly they become as fast as… “greased lightning!!!”. So enough about JiffyDos.
Why is this release a beta release, simply because this release holds a lot of changes made to the 1541-III’s firmware, very crucial changes. Most changes are not noticed by the user, and some are never used. But I won’t go into detail.
This release is usefull for those who want to test JiffyDos on the 1541-III. And it needs to be tested. Because it will contain bugs, therefore we need to have it tested by YOU, so YOU can make a list of programs/files that works/fails. If you can supply it with a decent description it helps us in developing/fixing the bugs. Making it into a stable release.

SCA – streamed char animation – is an animation (image sequence) with the dimension of 200×160 pixels, converted into the C64 charsets (25×20 chars).
One frame includes two multicolor charsets, the whole animation uses one static video and color RAM. SCA Converter utility (application) creates this kind of animation on Windows platforms.

SD2IEC is a hardware mass storage device using an SD/MMC card and interfacing with the IEC bus. It is based on the ATmega644 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:
2009-05-24 – release 0.8.1a
- Fix bootloader version number generation.

GoatTracker is a cross-platform tracker written by Lasse Öörni, producing SID chiptune music for the Commodore 64, and released with source code under the GPL. It is notable for being possibly the only SID chiptune-composer NOT native to the C64, as many alternative composers (including JCH, and CyberTracker) only execute on the C64 or inside C64 emulators.
Many SID tunes are available in various formats on the Internet, especially through the High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC). GoatTracker is capable of directly exporting to the .sid (PSID/RSID) file format in addition to standard C64 PRG files.
This Mac OS X port of GoatTracker integrates the cross-platform code with a standard Mac OS X GUI, and adds additional features, such as MIDI keyboard support and comprehensive built-in help.

ACID 64 Player Pro is the sequal of Acid 64 Player and is a cycle based Commodore 64 music player designed for playing SID tunes on sound cards/devices that have a real SID chip (6581/6582/8580) on board like the HardSID cards and HardSID 4U USB device.
ACID 64 emulates the MOS 6510 micro processor, the 6526 CIA chip and partially the 6569 VIC chip to run the code of a SID tune and it controls the SID chip on the device for playing the Commodore 64 music.

This is my first Modem, this is a Acoustic coupler modem for Commodore PET but i could use it with a IEEE488 Interface for the Commodore 64.
The Commodore’s 8010 Modem is an IEEE-488 (1978 standard) device which communicates via any standard telephone.
The 8010 Modem meets Bell 103 standards for communication at a fixed rate of 00 BAUD. The telephone interface is acoustic so the modem is portable. This means Commodore computers can communicate with, large computer systems like The Source and MICRONET, and other small computers.
Initially Commodore supplied software will support the following applications, with many more to come.
1) Terminal emulation.
2) Disk file send and receive.
3) Wordpro 3 sequential file send.
4) Hardcopy using Commodore printers.
5) Disk spooling.
A switchable four-section bandpass filter provides out-of-band rejection assuring accurate processing of the input from received carrier, even at signal levels of less than -47 dBm.
Jitter-free data is guaranteed by a soft limiter and phase lock loop discriminator. The carrier detect circuitry prevents the CBM Modem from operating when excessive noise would produce errors or cause marginal operation. This feature also assures accurate teleprocessing connections and inhibits chatter when the received signal fades.
