Re: Sphere-1: First true personal computer?
Everything you just said are valid points. As much as I love the Apple II (and respect Woz), I get annoyed when people claim it was the first personal computer. Or how Woz claims he invented the personal computer. At the end of the day, Apple "won". So the winners write the history, as the...

Re: Sphere-1: First true personal computer?
While this computer did come earlier it only managed to shift 1,300 units total which is not much when the PET shifted 4,000 PETs in '78 alone. There is of course as Wikipedia points out the MCM/70, and the Altair 8800 which sold more units than the Sphere-1. Well, the number of units sold is irrel...

Sphere-1: First true personal computer?
Seems the world has forgotten about the Sphere-1. I know this debate will never end. How do we define "personal computer"? At any rate, I'm a huge fan of all 8/16 bit computers. Apple, VIC, Atari, etc. But it is annoying how this computer never gets more credit. I'm not saying it is the fi...

Re: anyone have working mp3 or wav files for use with mp32c64
I thought using MP3 files were bad for that because of the compression.
Would you not want to use standard WAV files?

That's understandable...to me anyway.siccoyote wrote:I'm not even sure why I'm more obsessed with the vic than the c64. It's not even nostalgia, I was a speccy kid.
I think the VIC-20 and the Speccy are similar in a lot of ways.

Re: Graphics Accelerator Chip for VIC-20
If you put a new graphics video chip into the cartridge port, though, then there's not much left of the VIC-20. . Everyone has their own opinion on these things, but I agree with that statement. For me, much of the appeal is the minimalist systems we had 35 years ago and making the most of them. It...

Re: Lala Prologue Released
Does this game work on NTSC machines?
I don't have a way to find out at the moment.
Thanks.

Re: References to 6560 VIC chip prior to its use in the VIC 20
How are you reading these books? All I get are screenshots of the title page and no way to download them.
**EDIT**
Never mind. I see you couldn't read it all either.
Thanks.

Re: Apple-1
I have an L-Star that is an Apple 1 (and others) compatible computer. It's really nice. On a different front, I have designed and produced my own 65C02 computer (Potpourri6502). While I don't have video yet, that is my next project. It's a stepping stone to my more elaborate 8-bit wonder-computer I ...

Re: 8501 replacement for C16 Plus4: work in progress...
Wow! So are you planning to provide a (relatively) cheap, affordable substitute to the infamous fast-dying TED chip? I'd surely buy one for my black screen Commodore 16 :). Can't wait for your project to become a reality! The 8501 is the CPU right? I'm not aware of the TED being reproduced (althoug...

How often was the VIC-I socketed?
I know there are no definitive numbers on this, but what would you guess is the ratio of socketed VIC-I chips in VIC-20's?
Meaning, do you think that most are in sockets or are most soldered onto the board?
Thanks.

Re: SD2IEC-Ready Games Collection (1986 onwards)
Thanks for doing this!
I haven't looked yet, but is there a way to separate PAL/NTSC games?
