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.
Gotcha. It sounds like it was basically a minor technology refresh & cost
cutting machine. Odd that I've never seen one around; all of my friends had
64s back in the day, and some of them moved to 128s at some point, but I've
never seen one of these 64C machines. Hadn't even heard of them.
Interesting!
The C64C also came bundled with GEOS.
Oh neat! I wonder if that'll come with the 64C that I'm about to get.
If it doesn't yell and and I'll send you some disks. You're on your
own
to find a mouse though - I'm keeping mine. (1351 is the model # of the
mouse AFAIR)
Are you getting a disk drive with it?
If you're planning on using it much, I would highly recommed getting a
uIEC from Jim Brain.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
