What happened to the other 63 Commodores?
i shoved them up my ass>captcha: GAYGV0
>>100168228>What happened to the other 63999 bytes?
>>100168228They DIED >:(
>>100171009FUCK
>>10016882265535*
>>100168228same to what happened to those 6501 chips
>>100168228> 64K memoryLOL 32K RAM usable. 32K ROM. Better Q is what the 20 in VIC20 stood for.
>>100173720it could be expanded to 20K, which a fair selling point for the time
>>100173831> 16K RAM moduleI remember those... My first computer was a VIC20, my friend had one with the VicModem where you had to disconnect the phone handset and plug to back of modem, then dial with the phone base. 300 baud, you could read the text as fast as it came over. We quickly moved onto C64 and 1200 baud modems. Good times...
>they're still using C64get with the times poorfags lmao
>>100172022>65534OP included one. Senile old fart.
>>100174319>Compatibel with c64 softwareWhat a fucking lie, I had 128D which had both c64 and c128 systems and games did not run on c128
>>100174291>you had to disconnect the phone handset and plug to back of modemi've seen acoustic coupler modems, which i understand existed mainly because phone companies simply didn't allow unauthorised devices to be electrically connected to the phone network, but a modem that connects where the handset goes? not sure i've seen thatthat's before my time though, i started on 33.6k dialup
>>100174350that's why it says "Kompatibel"you can't sue them for using made up language
Brb, gonna go kidnap the RadioShack CEO and force him to tell me where they're hiding TRS 1-79.
What happened to the other 19 VICs?
>>100173720My mate had a Vic 20 and even as a ZX Spectrum owner, I considered him poor.
>>100174364I think it had less to do with phone company, and more to do with the hardware was easier to design without the complexity of a dialer. IIRC the original C64 modem connected to audio out on the computer, and the computer would emulate the DTMF dialtones. Later modems (later in 80s) did away with that nonsense. >>100175675I had a Vic20 first, a C64 about a year later, then went to Amiga 1000. It's been wintel boxes ever since...
>>100174364>>100176664Whoops. Here's a photo of the VicModem in action.
>>100176664Mmm, what I thought. The VicModem design was done that way to make it hit a $99 cost target. Main use case was connecting to Compuserve. Lol. https://www.oldcomputr.com/commodore-vicmodem-1982/
>>100176664Here's the one. This was also 300 baud, but hooked straight to phone line. Dialing was done in software using the C64 audio, for which there was a plug in the back. https://www.pagetable.com/?p=1644The last Commodore Modem for these was 1200 baud, and was Haynes compatible (all dial/connect commands were handled in hardware) but by that time you could get knockoffs via mailorder that were cheaper. Sold out of the back of Compute! Gazette. Mine was a blue thing that looks like case was made from old Tupperware.

>>100173720No, it had 64KB RAM. You could switch out the ROM from the memory map on the fly.
