C128 with SuperCPU and RamLink running Print Master

Metal Dust - a new C64 game with CMD-SuperCPU support! -- yeeehah!!

It is a very impressive video.

I was trying to find CMD on the web and found out they were bought out by On Semiconductor.

Such a strange acquisition, considering none of CMD's products are made available through On Semi.

I think the point of Metal Dust is to demonstrate how much more you can achieve when you have 20x the CPU power.

Different, other CMD

The Commodore end of the SuperCPU CMD was bought out by a guy
whom it appears has made a mess of things.

Try Googling "Maurice Randall"

Ah, yes! The scourge of the eight bit Commodore world. Maurice has been accused of stiffing people who sent him money toward CMD hard drive units, as well as JiffyDOS stuff, and such. The irony is that his dubious business practices have open the door to the revival of the Lt. Kernal hard disk subsystem, which was technically superior in almost all respects to the CMD product.

I'm curious to learn if people in the CBM world would be open to a 65816 cartridge plug-in which wasn't a bus-level accelerator, but rather a whole separate computer which communicated with the 6510 as a peripheral. It seems like it'd be substantially easier a circuit to get working and to support than something like the SuperCPU.

I thought the SuperCPU was actually that, a complete computer that uses a C64 as one big peripheral. I guess I learned something today
