Even the Spectrum has its own os:

Now, I want to see Contiki ported to it!

Yep,

Commodore 64 was definately the best computer of all time. I even made the xfering cable for it to use my Amiga 1200 to use the 1541 disk drives.  :-)

It runs on the SuperCPU, a 16-bit CPU upgrade to the Commodore 64.

Ah.... that makes sense.  Forgot about that upgrade!  Thanks!

Hey Yogi27...

BOOO!!!  HISSS!!!!!


I have 2 C64's and 1 broken (spare parts).  I loved my C64 ever since I was a child.  Being the beginner's geek I was, I started to program "Space Invaders" in BASIC!!!  Not to mention TONS OF GAMES still on 5 1/4" floppies and cassettes!  I still have that  cassette interface which works 90% of the time.  I still want that 1581 drive and a HD as well.

Anyone want some blank 5 1/4" floppies?  Sorry, u can't have 'em!  :-P

Ah, those were the days.  Now you can't get anyone to even look at a computer unless it has at least 40 million developers making crappy, "free" spamware for it.  ;-)

I loved my C64 and never had any reliability problems with it.  The only thing that pissed me off to no end was the fact it only had two cursor keys.

It would be nice to have something like thsi for a Jay Minor classic like the Atari 8-bit, rather than some Commodore piece of crap that often times does not work now a days, where as I have only ran across one Atari 8-bit that did not still work.

@XDelusion:

Funny, I've had two Atari 2600's die on me, along with a Coleco Vision, but my C64, A1000, and A1200 are all in perfect shape.
