You probably know about Commodore computers already unless you stumbled on this page by accident. For the curious, let's say it was a company famous for producing various computing gizmos, most notably the Commodore 64.

This section of my site is about the various 8-bit computers they produced and associated hardware. In particular, the Commodore 128 computer (which features an excellent C64 emulation mode), and its associated disk drive, the C1571 (featuring a good C1541 emulation mode).

Most of Commodore's 8-bit computers (and their disk drives) used a 6502(compatible) CPU making software easy to port from one system to another. In addition, their 8-bit computers featured an operating system (called 'KERNAL'), that is supported in a compatible fashion across various machines. Their operating system can also be considered to include BASIC. There are several versions, but the commands of version 2.0 (as in the C64) are supported by all the various 8-bit computers. So although there are distinct differences among Commodore's devices, there are also a lot similarities and I hope much of the information applies to a broad range of Commodore machines.
