Commodore MOS technology building to be demolished

[ChuckT]

I posted some reduced images of the Commodore MOS building in Valley Forge over at Amiga.org under "Images" and they are in the general section.

I emailed a picture to the Commodore History Museum but I didn't get a response.

Basically, the users of Amiga need spare parts and they thought that some might be forgotten about in the old building. So I tracked down the current owner and he wanted me to speak to the real estate agent and the real estate agent said that the current owner considered it trash (there may have been a flood that destroyed what was stored in the basement) and he even took out the partitions so that you couldn't even tell what went on in there. The current building is a shell and it is going to be used as a velodrome because the EPA came and started talks with GMT Electronics (the former owner). I was given permission to take a couple of pictures of the building but the pictures I posted were taken from the legal part of the street and I took close to 70 pictures.

I'm willing to submit the pictures to this board and the Commodore History Museum for their free use.

Commodore History Museum? Where is that?

I'm willing to submit the pictures to this board...

Sounds good to me if Ian is willing.

Good Day;

We don't do much with Amiga as this in an 8 Bit site. However, if you are not getting responses elsewhere, I am certain we can find a space!

Let me know what you decide to do.

I was just remarking that I emailed a picture to this site and I may have thought that this board had something to do with the Commodore Museum because of the front page www.commodore.ca had history on it.

In order to not repeat a lot of information, I just gave the links to the discussion on the MOS Semiconductor Group's building which is about to be demolished.

I understand this isn't an Amiga site but we share the same history which is why I gave the other link because I thought it was important to share the history through photographs and through the findings (news) about what is to become of the former MOS building in Norristown and you don't have to use up bandwidth by leaving the other links up.

I've owned a Commodore 64, tape drive, 1541, 1581, C-128 and Amiga 500 (1 Meg) with 1084S monitor and I think the fun of programming will be lost without all Commodore users unless there is a continuation of what we do through new hardware. I've been looking at newer hardware like the Minimig (Mini Amiga clone), the NATAMI (Natural Amiga) and other 8/16 bit hardware (and emulators) that are built and could be further developed.

Thank you for all the nice history on your site and it has been very helpful and appreciated.
