Re: 1983's wonderful "Introduction to Machine Code for Begin

Oh, that book....I remember that back at school in the mid 80's....haven't seen that in ages

Thing is it had a lot of competition from computer specific (i.e. atari/commodore/acorn, Amstrad/sinclair/msx) 6502/z80 books and was a bit thin on the ground content wise (compared to general and computer ...

Re: Getting young people into 6502


Interesting that you say that (i.e. that there's v. little interest in this site by Atari/Commodore users) since i would have thought that along with Apple as well as Atari and 8/16bit Nintendo desktop game systems, that in itself forms the majority of the 6502 user base and therefore the target ...

Re: Getting young people into 6502


I appreciate that the majority of people here prefer pucka (as in real) hardware to work with (in regards to 6502 work/projects etc),. thing is since emulation is free, it's a quicker and easier way to get to young people...

In the prelude to the main text, where it gave a potted history of commodore upto the c128, it mentioned that just before commodore developed or released the comm. pet it did some deal with tandy/radio shack where commodore ...

Did commodore attempt development of an upscale 6502

I was reading some commodore site previously (i think it might have been lemon 64 or it might have been someone else) and it had sections or parts of a chapter of Brian Bagnals new Commodore History book (which essentially has most of the content of 'Home computer wars' and continues the story as ...
