Commodore 64 Gold Edition su Ebay.de.

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.

HermIRES e’ un hires bitmap (Art Studio 1 format) editor che gira sotto Windows e Linux per il Commodore 64.

The format has some restrictions, here are the rules:

• The maximal resolution of the picture is 320×200
• Only 16 fix C64 colours can be used (no gradient either)
• In a 8×8 pixel-block only 2 colours can used to be displayable by C64 (this is detected in HermIRES, but .hbm files can be saved with clashes too.)
• On a real C64 the PAL will blur the screen-content a bit, should check on CRT, or at least VICE emulator’s CRT simulation.

Changelog:

• Gave 45 pixel taskbar-height for GUI-size auto-detector (more tolerance)
• LoadVPL() is now before LoadFile() in ‘main’ (by commandline-argument or from config-setting) so opening .png/.bmp at startup is converted correctly with the latest palette.
• Caption name now doesn’t contain the extra letter at the end (string-delimiter 0 was put in wrong place by loop)

• HermIRES v1.28 (Windows/Linux) (1018)

AspeQt is a cross-platform, free and open source Atari 8-bit serial peripheral emulator. The name is an acronym for Atari serial peripheral emulator for Qt, Qt being the cross-platform application development framework used by AspeQt.

AspeQt emulates various Atari 8-bit peripherals like disk drives and printers via an SIO-2-PC cable. If you are familiar with software like Sio2Pc, APE, Atari810, AtariSIO etc., you probably won’t have any problems getting used to AspeQt.

Even though AspeQt is not fully mature yet, it is easy to use and, despite its shortcomings, has many features that you may find useful, the highlights being:

• Up to 15 disk drive emulation.
• Up to 6x SIO speed (125,000bps)
• Support for ATR, XFD, PRO and ATX (preliminary) disk images.
• Mount folders as emulated disks.
• Disk image explorer.
• Directly boot Atari executables.
• Text only printer emulation with PC print, save, and ATASCII font support.
• Cassette image playback.
• Multilingual GUI (English, Polish, Slovak, German, Turkish and Russian)
• AspeQt client module (AspeCl) for Atari, communicates with the server and performs a variety of remote operations.

Changelog:

• Added an option (Options/Emulation menu) to selectively enable/disable filtering of underscore character from file names in Folder Images (Ray Ataergin)
• Fixed a problem where “Unmount All” menu item was only unmounting the first 8 images. (Marcin Sochacki)
• Updated Polish language translations (Marcin Sochacki – TheMontezuma)
