I thought it was common knowledge that Commodore started to make PC compatibles before their demise.

AmigaBASIC was also hacked by Microsoft.

I remember buying a Commodore Colt, but returned it since the stupid monitor was damaged on it.  Would have been a collectors item.

Those of us who have had the missfortume to have used AmigaBasic, know that it was the nastiest hack ever made.

M$ Clearly did not have a clue as to how the AmigaOS worked and made some odd design decisions.

They are dd floppys? thought pc use hd floppys?

[Steady]

They're DD mostly because it is circa 1990, I'd guess. Although HD floppies were in use (most probably heavy use) it is the lowest common denominator at the time for 3.5".

Don't know what Commodore PCs came with. C= seemed to have an affection for DD in general, it seems  :-P

Heck, ya. I have the shell of one in my basement (retrieved from trash for its PSU or something, I forget.), and one of my my old teachers in college had one in her office.

Fools.. such a waste..

Hi,

Just to let you know Commodore built quite a few computers, lets see the PC colt, PC 20, and I believe the PC 40, where all built by Commodore.  Face it all Commodore was trying to do was to make money for themselves and stock holders. They could have given a damn less if it was Amiga, C64, C128, PC Colt or Pet, just as long as it sold and made money. When they made the Amiga they were still living off the high of the C64 and wanted a computer to take its place. Unfortunetly they failed in every respect. Times and computers where changen and so was the way people thought of computers.

ps I sold Amiga's when they first came out, never could get enough to put in stock. Had plenty of Colts and PC-20's though.
