Replacement PLA for Commodore 64

Autopsy:

The PLA chip (906114-01) used in the Commodore C64 is a generic 82S100 gate array with custom programming. Its logic functions were dumped and reverse engineered by the community and are available from a variety of sources.

This PLA uses the Xilinx CPLD XC9536 to emulate perfectly the PLA of the Commodore 64.

from Wikipedia:

The Commodore 64 is an 8-bit home computer released by Commodore International in August, 1982, at a price of 595 USD.

Preceded by the Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore MAX Machine, the C64 features 64 kilobytes (65,536 bytes) of RAM with sound and graphics performance that were superior to IBM-compatible computers of that time.

It is commonly known as the C64 or C=64 and occasionally referred to as CBM 64 (Commodore Business Machines Model number 64), or VIC-64. It has also been affectionately nicknamed the “breadbox” and “bullnose” due to the shape and colour of the first version of its casing.

Commodore 64 Orange Fkey/6569 R1 Ceramic

January 17th, 2009 xAD / nIGHTFALL No comments

Description:

  • Country: UK
  • Most Common: Europe
  • Rarity: Rare
  • Year: 1983

The design was basically the same as the VIC-20 design: Black keys and orange function keys (from F1-F8), and it was said that a few computers have the more angular keys of its predecessor. Earlier models even had some differences, such as the 5-pin video out.

Commodore 64 Aldi

November 27th, 2008 xAD / nIGHTFALL No comments

Description:

  • Country: US
  • Most Common: Germany
  • Rarity: Rare
  • Year: 1987

Externally, the C64 Aldi had same case colour as a standard C64 but the keyboard was light grey, like the future C64G and C64C.

Internally, the motherboard was redesigned to minimize production costs, most of the TTL chips were removed, replaced with a new MMU chipset. First releases of this board had some compatibility problems with C=64 peripherals – they lacked the 9V user port voltage, but this limitation was repaired in the next revisions.

Although made in USA, the Aldi was sold only in Germany as a game machine through only one distribution channel, a supermarket chain called… Aldi, hence his name, given by the German 64′er magazine.

In 1989, the C=64 Aldi would be replaced by the grey C=64G which would use the same motherboard.
