A Commodore 128DCR Computer

Commodore 128DCRThe Commodore 128D the next generation of the Commodore 64. Not only capable of running as a Commodore 64, it also has an expanded 128 mode with expanded BASIC and 80-column capabilities. Also with the Z80 processor, the 128 can run as a CP/M computer to access many CP/M programs such as popular business programs, like Wordstar and dBase II.

Features:

  • 128K of RAM
  • an 8502 processor (similar to the 6510 the Commodore 64, but capable of 2MHz speed)
  • a Z80 processor
  • a VIC-II graphics chip for 40-column color graphics, sprites, etc.
  • a 6568 graphics chip capable of 80-column color hi-res graphics. (In the 128D there is a full 64K of video ram allowing for better hi-res capabilities from the chip.)
  • 8580 SID sound chip
  • Built-in 1571 Disk Drive
  • Separate, wired keyboard for better ergonomics.
  • BASIC 7 included graphics, sprite animation, & sound commands; advanced programming; and a built-in mini ML monitor assembler/disassembler

Ketek Command Center for the C128

The classic combination monitor stand/disk drive cubby! Includes two 1571 disk drives.

Commodore 64C

The brown C64 was given a facelift in 1986 and became the beige C64C (long motherboard). It features everything good from the original C64 –

  • 64K of RAM
  • 6510 processor
  • 6581 SID chip
  • BASIC 2.0
  • a repairable CBM power supply (upgraded by Ray Carlsen)

Commodore 1750 RAM Expansion

A 512 KB RAM expansion designed for the 128

Designed to add extra RAM storage through a bank switching process. Was well utilized for GEOS graphical operating system as a RAM disk, on some utilities and word processors for extra work RAM, on some advanced games for faster loading of game code, as well as many BBSs in the day as a RAM disk as well.

(the REU could be used on the C64 with the addition of a resistor and a strong enough C64 power supply - stronger than the one that came with the C64)

And could support up to 1 or 2 MB when significantly modified.

AMIGA 500

Amiga 500 with OS 1.3 ROMs, mouse, power supply, and a set of disks in a nice, disk box.

The Amiga 500 was one of the most popular models of the Amiga line, all enclosed in one case with a full keyboard ain integral floppy disk drive. 1.3 ROMs allowd for booting from hard drives, among other features. (note: There are several modern accelerator boards that can take the Amiga 500 way beyond the speed of the original Amiga line.)

A RAM based expansion for the Commodore 64/128 the RAMLink gives the ultimate in RAMdisk speed as it connects via the Commodore's expansion port and not the serial iec port.

This RAMLink has 4MB RAM, power supply, RL Utilities Disk, a copy of the manual, the timing clip (necessary to work with C64 models), and the cable for the back-up battery (battery not included). A battery backup unit can be purchased inexpensively to keep the memory contents intact when cycling power or during power outages. RAMLink also has its own built-in JiffyDOS expansion for the host computer.

One of the best “power-up” additions for Commodore BBS sysops or GEOS power users.

Colortone Musical Keyboard

With this item you can compose, play back, and save your compositions. Comes with program disk and photocopied instructions.
