Commodore 65 board "resurrection"
« on: December 16, 2012, 12:01:59 PM »
Dear Friends,
 
finally, we got it :) On www.retrocommodore.com you can find an article about "resurrection" of an old unpopulated C65 rev 2b board using CSG4510 R5. My friend Giorgio also created a floppy disk adaptor using a classic PC floppy drive on the C65 board. Enjoy! ;)
 
Take care, Carlo

I agree with Blinx123.. more or less :)
 
C65 Rev 5 was quite a complete machine... very near to launch... Of course latest ROM revision had some unimplemented commands. C65 was sent to all Commodore departments to do final testing and package was completed with some instructions for use it. Commodore didn't want a full - C64 - compatible machine: they wished 70 - 80 % of compatibility in C65 mode and 100% in C64 emulation inside the machine (with Go 64 command in C65 mode you can turn in C64 emulation mode)
 
Take care, Carlo

Of course nobody, i think, is going to rebuild a new C65 :)
