Very nice Motorollin, that's the C-64G isn't it? With the later revision SID chip that a lot of people complained about for sounding ever-so-slightly different IIRC.

Anyone got a link to info on the Prophet64? I have no experience using 8-bit Commodores so most of this thread went over my head.

You're right, it looked like a G in the photo there, both had the grey case and keys...

Given I couldn't even tell from the picture wether you'd bought a C or a G revision, I'm really not the person to give advice but I think the C did have different chips to the original breadbin models.

Then again I think I read (on a collector site) that some C-64Cs were made by using original version mobos and chips left over from the previous production run; Commodore's production techniques were, odd at the best of times.

kd7ota's post seems to explain the difference between the two SID chips BTW.
