Once I worked for IBM, a long time ago. They had their own operating system, 0S/2 Warp.

Funny though, there were 2 workstations that had it running, but all desktops used Windows. Nobody used OS/2

Try contacting Paul Gable at the 64 and More Store. I remember he had one up on eBay awhile ago. He has helped me track down hard to find items before.

Game Music

I am making a Flash clone of the old commodore game Kickman. Does anyone know where I can find a midi or wav of the music?

I was going to improve the graphics and gameplay of the game, but wanted to keep the original (annoying?) music fairly close.

How do I back up easily?

I just bought 80 original disks, mostly games, on eBay. They are of course fairly old so I would like to back them up somehow and save the originals someplace and just use the backups. Is the only way to back them up is by using some sort of disk cracking program? I occasionally find the disk cracki...

I read an article that said you can do the same thing with your computer and a CD writer. You do something like download the programs and write them to CD as audio files, then you can load them to your Commodore from a portable CD player instead of a cassette tape player, as the cable will work with...

I have two commodore 64s, each with a different monitor plug. The cable that came with my 1702 monitor only works with one.

I guess thats similar to the problem you are having. I have no idea why they made different ones. Maybe different countries?

Wow. Thats a great price. Though I will guess that it is not for one with all original boxes and manuals as he described. As a collector, the first thing I look for is the condition of the original boxes. Since the unit itself can be repaired easy enough. What's good is that he was very up front abo...

Put all that on eBay and you'll get a good price for it. Especially if you have all the original boxes. Keep that in mind if you cant find a seller here. On eBay I would expect $100 to $200 easy for a complete system including monitor. Plus the buyer would pay shipping costs so you wouldn't have to ...

Now I wish I would have bid.

Though I snipe things, so my bid would not even have shown up unless it was more than the top price. The sniping software doesn't even bother unless its top bid at the moment it goes to post.

The C64GS I was talking about, auction 200037454127, went for $205 U.S.

That is a really good price too, for a worn and used one.

Nowhere near the $700 for the mint one though. I guess everyone really realized there just wont be another like that for sale ever again.

There is another C64GS for sale.

Though it is in well used shape with worn box. Hard to tell from the picture but it looks a bit yellowed.

I guess he saw how much doobie's unit went for and wanted to strike while it was a hot item.

Before commodore made computers...

Check out this 16 transistor radio that Commodore made.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 6608428756

Not sure of the date, but it sure looks like a radio you might find in the Leave it to Beaver or I Love Lucy days. It looks really old.

Video ROM.

Best find a Commodore users group for help. If you're not a technician you are going to have a tough time troubleshooting and repairing chip problems.
