from 1541 Ultimate homepage:

Finally, the software for the 1541 Ultimate II is finished. In the last two weeks, an enormous amount of work has been done:

• USB is now working stable, including insertion and removal.  (My external 500 GB harddisk was detected flawlessly!)
• Support for USB devices with multiple LUNs (like card readers)
• GCR (G64) supported added, including write (the Ultimate-I couldn’t do this)
• T64 file support re-integrated.
• Tape support, using TAP files (I needed to test the hardware anyway!)
• Comprehensible menus.
• Real time clock functional  (still need a clock widget…)
• I made a wooden mould, to simplify closing the plastic cases without damaging them.

The plan is, to ship the first 40~50 units this coming Wednesday! The remaining units will follow as soon as possible!  Thank you for your patience!

CBM-Command is a disk manager for the Commodore 64 and Commodore 128 computers.

It is written like Norton Commander or Midnight Commander, but is much simpler due to the target platforms.

Both the C128 and C64 have their own native version of the application.

Release Notes – 2010-05-26 – Version 1.0

New Features:

• Simple text file viewer. Now when you use SHIFT-RETURN to open a file, it will ask if you want to view it as text. If you say yes it will present the file in the simple text viewer. If you say no it will launch as normal. If you have selected a SEQ file then it will open straight into the viewer upon hitting SHIFT-RETURN.
• Help File.

Changes:

• Fixed bug where you could move to an unopened panel.
• Fixed bug where you could not abort a rename by leaving the name blank and hitting return.
• Reworked how the panels are displayed to allow more characters of names to be displayed in 40 columns.

Do you recognize this: “Wait, was this PRG file for the C64 or Vic-20? Or was it for the unexpanded Vic-20 or for one with 8K or was it a cartridge file”?

Imagine just double clicking a PRG or D64 file, and it will be loaded into the correct emulator and with the correct settings. This is exactly what PRG Starter does! It makes VICE so easy to use that even you mother could do it! ;-)

Supported file types: prg, p00, p01, p02, p03, d64, d41, d71, d81, t64, crt, seq, s00, s01, s02, s03…

YM-64 is a program to play so-called ym files on the Commodore 64. Ym files have the extension “.ym” and usually contain music written for the Atari ST, the Amstrad/Schneider CPC, or the Sinclair ZX spectrum.

With YM-64 it is possible to play this music also on Commodore 64 computers.
