Assembler code for Commodore OSes
I'm writing a new pretty printer for 6502 assembler. Ultimately the goal is to read in any common format and write it back out in any other common format. So far it handles CA65 code and the Microtek assembler used by Atari when developing the 400/800. I am not so familiar with the Commodore side of ...

Anyone know who Digital Solutions was?
I'm wondering if anyone knows anyone who might have worked at/been Digital Solutions Inc of Ontario. They were first listed as being in Willowdale, but later were in an industrial unit (now row housing) in Richmond Hill. Around the time they moved they renamed all their products from "Paperback ...

Re: Claims of the first personal computer
There are various definitions of "personal computer" so it is sort of in the "eye of the beholder". As I read your definition, I thought of the MCM/70 as well, to be honest. Many people don't know about this computer and how early it was but I am fortunate enough to own one. Wow, you still have ...

Is the KIM-1 the first single board computer?
Following in the theme of my last post, I'd like to address the next claim: The KIM1 was the first single board computer I have a single board computer sitting beside me as I type this. It has no display or input on the system. It is, however, the canonical example of a single-board computer, which ...

Re: Claims of the first personal computer
On further study, there appears to no definition by which the PET could possibly claim to be the first personal computer. Forget the MCM/70 for the moment, let's just look at the market at that time. The PET was announced in January 1977, and the first units shipped in October. However, this ...

Claims of the first personal computer
Hello all, I sent an email to Ian Matthews about some questionable claims I found on the commodore.ca web page. To avoid broadening the discussion too far, I'll focus on one in particular: https://www.commodore.ca/commodore-products/commodore-pet-the-worlds-first-personal-computer/ Commodore PET ...

Identifying a few old games?
When I first started using the PET around 1981/2 we had only a few games. One was the classic STAR TREK from Creative Computing, no mystery there. Looking at your page I also remember Dog Star, Space Invaders and Dungeon. But there was another that I don't see, let me try to describe it... Basically ...
