I am new to this forum (first post) and you could say I am new to the VIC 20 aswell, though that is not quite true..
20 years ago i remember banging on my brothers door in the basement yelling "I wanna play! i Wanna PLAY!!" sometimes he opened just to throw things at me like pencils and stuff. Yes I know, I was a pain in the ass.
He was 15 and I was 7.
Sometimes he let me in, and when he did I was SO excited!
It was mysterious and cozy there.. Dark..only the light from a TV picturing a fantastic universe where I could fly helicopter and even Spaceships!!!
Yes, my first encounter with a computer was this VIC thing.. Since then we had other machines aswell. I had a C-64 (still do) But now I want to find out more about this very special machine.
When I search the internet I find that much of the resources on the VIC 20 is specialized and involving much technical details. like the people in that community are programmers and so on.. I am willing to learn and right now i try to figure out ML commands for the 6502.. (I have a basic understanding of basic) So to the subject:
Where do I start and is there any beginners-guide to the VIC you would reccomend?
Allso: Can I use a C-64 powersupply for the VIC? how about the datasette or diskdrive?
Is there any very newbeeforums on the net i should post Q on? instead of bugging you people?
Thank's alot!!!
