With the C128, you got a additional processor (a rather slow Z80) and CPM support?

The C128, in actual C128 mode, was a fantastic computer for the time.  Shame most software was written for "the least common denominator", the C64, and required that the C128 run in C64 mode to use it.  Had more software actually been written for the C128 mode...  who knows...

then go crank up some Motorhead.

After that try GEOS 128 with a 1581 or one of those CMD hard drives, and the extra 512K of RAM.  It really wasn't a bad system, for the era.  Oh, how I drooled over the C128 in the magazines.  Right up until I got my Amiga, of course.
