Docs, books, mags, software and hardware help

[therealeasterbunny]

Hello all

I'm still new to the forum having just posted once the other day for my port of the classic game Nightmare Park to Android.

I would also like to add I am a huge fan Commodore computers, especially the PET.

I have a large amount of books, magazines (including ICPUGs) and reference guides / manuals for Commodore computers which I am happy to scan in any parts people are searching for information for.

If you are trying to find some information about something and cannot find it, send me a PM and I will have a rummage for any information and scan in and send to you. Obviously I can't scan in complete tomes but if you are looking for specifics, I am happy to look for you in my collection.

I have several PETs ranging from an original blue screen framed PET 2001 to the ill fated P500. I have lots of different disk drives and tape drives of which if you are looking for chip info or measurements etc I am happy to open up and supply.

Most of the stuff of course you can get from the net but if theres anything specific you can't find after a good trawl, give me a buzz.

I will catalog my collection shortly and list up here somewhere (is there a "Here is my collection" thread?) so you can see if any of my bits and pieces may be of use to you for reference.

I also have other hardware and docs for the VIC and 64 but the majority of stuff is PET related.

The mags I have are mainly UK and more or less complete collections from 1978 to 1985 (where published) including Computer and Video Games (except issue 1), a complete set of Popular Computing Weekly to 1986, a complete set of Pratical Computing an Personal Computer World to 1986 as well as lots of other stuff.

Anyway, just thought I'd share this post to anyone who is looking for any info that they cannot track down currently.

Cheers!

Oh, it sounds as if you have fantastic collection of PET materials.

Hi,

If your generous offer still stands, I'd be interested in P500 basic or machine language sample program(s) for graphics
(using the graphics mode of VIC) , sprite handling, and detailed memory map of this rare machine.
if it's not a problem of course.

Thank you !
