![]() ![]() If I’d tried to purchase the functional equivalent in Apple hardware it would have set me back between two and three times as much as I spent on Commodore equipment. It was either that or else use a cassette tape recorder, and I’d come to absolutely loathe using cassettes for external storage due to my exposure to them with the TI 99/4a. I had enough money left in my budget to purchase one Commodore 1541 floppy disk drive to go along with the C64. The Commodore 64, or C64 from here on out, was worth every penny. The computers I used from that period were 6502 based, starting with the old Apple ][ and later the Commodore 64, for which I paid the princely sum of $599 when it was first introduced in early 1982. Those in turn are further segregated into the CPUs, such as the 8080/8085, Z80, 6502, and 6800/6809. Those videos cover, but aren’t limited to, Atari, Commodore, and Tandy (Radio Shack) home systems. Along the way I took a side trip through a series of videos which I’ll label as nostalgia system videos, where the creators talk about various home computer systems of the late 1970s and 1980s. I’ve been trawling through YouTube lately, looking for videos on various tech subjects such as operating systems and embedded programming. ![]()
