I am looking for DX-Software and DX-Hardware for my COMMODORE 128 ( also for
the C-64-mode ). KK |

You might look for Emulation software for the Commodore 128 and see if your
software will work on your computer in emulation mode. If you don't have the software you may need to search for both. HTH mm ~~~~~ God gives Peace not war + |

Those old simple computers like the Comodore, Radio Shack Color
Computer, etc., will work fine as a dumb terminal along with a radio modem or other decoding device. They just need a serial port, enough processing power to load some kind of comm software and display basic text. I used a Coco 16 that had been bumped to 64k and a faster clock along with a tape drive, home brew RF modulator and a 40 character screen. The CoCo worked great along with an AEA PK232MBX for several RTTY modes and cw. m II wrote: wrote: Klaus K=F6hler - Th=FCringen wrote: I am looking for DX-Software and DX-Hardware for my COMMODORE 128 ( also for the C-64-mode ). KK - Doubt if it has sufficient CPU power to do much... you might try writing some yourself & see....

Wasn't interested so didn't pay much attention but do recall a stack of 1571 drives. Rob Mills |

Ah, the Commodore. Those little guys were fun to tinker with, and some of the things they could do were years ahead of what the PCs of the day were capable of. I had software that would decode Morse and rtty but dumped it all a long, long time ago. Commodore BBSes were always the coolest ones to log onto - great BBS software like ImageBBS looked better than the stodgy interfaces you saw on PC boards, and all the really cool "doors" came out for the C= boards first. -- [tv] CCC: Crash if Carry Clear -- New Opcode |

KK I still have my Commodore 64 and the floppy drive for it. I just recently threw out the first computer I ever built the Sinclair ZX81. I remember taking like 20 min to type in a software program for a game. I was also on the internet way back then using a company called Q-Link which was later bought out by a company called AOL. Those were the days... Lucky |

It can run almost any CP/M software and any C'64 software as well as native software. The main problem, I should think, is that it doesn't have the standard ports that are used today so you might need homebrew hardware to connect say the "user port" to something. One of the best collections of C'64 (and C'128) software was lost when AOL / Quantum Link pulled the plug on their Commodore service without adequate notice.

Aaaaahhhhh the Commodore 64
My first true ( computer ) love. After bad times with the Trash-80, then the Sinclair..... The C-64 worked "first time, every time" I learned Basic... brushed up on the sciences, connected to my first Bulletin Board ( at 300bps ) Now, I sit at a DELL, and I'm just "a user" On Tue, 22 Feb 2005 18:16:45 GMT, (Mark Zenier) wrote: In article , Klaus Köhler - Thüringen wrote: I am looking for DX-Software and DX-Hardware for my COMMODORE 128 ( also for the C-64-mode ).

What do you mean C64? Back in 1980, I had a Commodore VIC-20. Talk about a
machine!!! It came with 5Kb of RAM, but the operating system took up 1.5K, so I had to program it with 3.5Kb. Talk about the need to not waste a single byte! Yet, I was able to do many things on that computer, even my first online activities at several bbs and even CompuServe. I wrote my own pacman game, and had so much fun on that thing. Of course, I bought lots of game cartridges and stuff, but my most fun came from successfully writing and running my very own programs. I miss the old goto days. |
I was pleasantly surprised at what could be done with just basic
equipment. There was a whole lot of satisfaction from just making it all work. Saving files on the CoCo took for ever...even after I upgraded from a tape drive to a single sided floppy drive. As much as I have good memories about the "simpler times" I have to admit that upgrading to a PC running windows made it easier to swap back and forth between frequency lists and messages.
