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.
The C64C also came bundled with GEOS.

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

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.
