It's the closest thing the C64 had to a native operating system, mate.
Right, that's why it said "Microsoft BASIC": because C= was in the business of selling pirated software. Regardless, was it written by MS? Yes. So I'm right - thanks for acknowledging that.
...a hacked 6502 - what I said still stands.
1. OS is not BASIC, the fact you can run things after trashing the entire ROM area is proof. Oh look I have no BASIC but I can still run any type of program. Could it be that BASIC is just an application that does nothing more than Amiga BASIC. Ouch.
2. It says Commodore BASIC V2 but anyway it is perfectly legal because if you had googled this aspect of Commodore history you would know Jack told Gates how it is and take it or leave it. No royalties, a single low payment and the ability/right to modify it in any way they see fit to shoehorn it into other machines hence PET BASIC on VIC and C64....right up to C64C. 128/16/+4 post JT Commodore managers went to Microsoft and asked for new improved versions out of choice not legal requirement.
3. There is a slight difference and it's made by a different designer and fabrication, be more accurate in future or get help for your dyslexia. Just so you know the 4 revisions of the 6502 are not the same as the 6800 either or is that also a hacked 6800 now?
You are wrong that is all you have proved today :roflmao:
