CBM-Command v2.2 RC2

CBM-Command è un disk manager per Commodore 64 / 128 / VIC20 / PET e Commodore C16. L’interfaccia ricorda il vecchio Norton Commander / Midnight Commander. L’interfaccia grafica del CBM-Command per ovvi motivi risulta più semplice ma perfettamente integrata nel sistema operativo. La versione per Commodore 128 puo’ girare anche a 80 colonne.

Release Notes – Version 2.2 – 2013-04-16 – RC2

New Features:

  • Provides Side-By-Side panels or Top-And-Bottom panels on 40-column systems.
  • Batch disk image creation.
  • User can select drive or partition number.
  • The disks have a little BASIC-language program that can update your configuration files.

Updates from RC1:

  • The help file explains how to use a new feature of the configuration utility.
  • The configuration-file updater adds another configurable key to your personal configurations.
  • The D80 image was rebuilt, in order to work around a VICE bug.

Known Issues:

  • It can trigger the write-and-replace bug.
  • It can’t create or write back D80 and D82 images.
  • The REL-file copier doesn’t truncate old target files that have the same record size as the new file.
  • It will try to copy DEL files if they are selected.
  • Errors don’t stop batch operations; the file is skipped.

Commodore 64 Gold Edition on Ebay.fr (Compralo subito a € 6.400,00)

Commodore 64 Gold Edition on Ebay.fr.

testo tratto dalla homepage di Wikipedia:

Per commemorare il milionesimo Commodore 64 prodotto in Germania, la Commodore tedesca (Commodore Büromaschinen GmbH) produsse una versione speciale in edizione limitata, chiamata (in tedesco) Golden Edition. Il computer era dorato ed avvitato su una piastra decorata con disegni di circuiti.

Vennero presentate 200 unità (numero di serie 1’000’000 – 1’000’199) presso il museo BMW di Monaco di Baviera, affittato per l’occasione dalla Commodore: i computer non vennero venduti al pubblico, ma dati in quella manifestazione a rappresentanti della stampa e dell’economia. La macchina numero 1’000’058 venne donata alla rivista tedesca “64′er”.

Su questi computer era indicato il numero di serie, scritto a penna, di fianco al logo Commodore. Inizialmente dovevano venirne prodotti solo 150, ma i numeri di serie arrivano a circa 350, forse 1000. Sebbene lo scopo di questi computer fosse commemorativo e decorativo, erano macchine perfettamente funzionanti.
