  • C=64c Ultimate

    From Rug Rat@1:135/250 to All on Thursday, June 11, 2026 05:22:07
    So, Commodore will be releasing the C=64C Ultimate.

    This actually has me thinking of possibly putting down the money to buy one to use as a terminal to call my BBS and development!

    I always did like the C style case.

    Or maybe I should hold out for a future C=128 Ultimate?

    I hope they make a 128! I still want an original for my collection, but a the convenience of a U would be great.

    ... I was a dirty young man - I haven't changed.

    I'd buy one. Though I wanted one so bad, I never aquired one. As weird as it seems today, I thought they were too expensive AND I loved my C=64. :-)

    The C128 was a computer without a direction.

    It was a C64 - which is probably what most people used it for - with all
    the limitations of a C64.

    It was a CP/M machine - at a time when CP/M was on the downward spiral.
    And you needed the special, faster floppy drives to make it work
    decently, which made the C128 more expensive than other CP/M systems.

    And it was a C128 - with 80 columns, updated BASIC, etc. But they
    didn't give it enough video RAM to get all the colors in 80 column mode.
    So you were stuck using it in monochrome mode.
