Default software for my old COMMODORE 128

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

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

I had a really small basic program for the Vic-20 and C-64 that would
do a respectable job of Decoding Morse. It couldn't have been more
than twenty lines long. There were also rtty decoders available.

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.

RTTY modes and cw.

I had a DX302 hooked to a C128 and an AEA CP1, it worked pretty good, would
print it out as fast as it read it.

Wish I had seen this post several weeks ago because I was at an estate sale
about a week ago that had a bunch of Commodore gear. Wasn't interested so
didn't pay much attention but do recall a stack of 1571 drives. Rob Mills

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.

Gee - why not? 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.

hope you tried a google search. the commodores are still vary popular in
europe. i have a feeling Volker will have something for you. i had a ton
of software for my old commo's years ago. ham and shortwave, even a
DX-edge
map, as i remember. commo's and good software still show up at the
hamfest
i go to each summer. good luck...

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.
