Hey
Commie folks. Did Commodore build a version of the 64 that
looked physically like a 128?
Sort of - the whole range (including the A500, A600 and A1200 Amigas) all
had a very similar look.
I remember the Amigas and the 128. From the responses I've seen here I
believe it is a C64C. I have been offered this machine locally; I was told
it was a "Commodore 64" but the picture I was sent looks like a 128. The
woman is certain that it's a 64, but I'd never heard of a 64 in a case like
that.
Are there any other hardware differences that you're aware of? Does it run
the same SUPER AWESOME AMAZINGLY ADVANCED BASIC (sorry Liam, I couldn't
resist! ;)) that the "ordinary" 64 runs?
Dave, the C-64C is primarily just a case upgrade and later on a
cost-reduced main board update (4464 instead of 4164, etc). The KERNAL
and BASIC ROMs are basically the same as what is found in the old breadbox
64.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical

holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
