 | | The Commodore 64 was a popular home computer of the 1980s. | | | The C64 was often used with tape drives in Europe, although in the United States the C64 popularized the use of floppy drives, as it was the first computer that made them affordable. | | | In the UK, it rivalled the ZX Spectrum in popularity, and benefitted from a full-sized keyboard and more advanced graphics and sound chips. |

| | Commodore computer history and repair information |
| | The Commodore 64 was actually part of the evolution of computers marketed by CBM (Commodore Business Machines) which had previously proliferated the CBM and PET business computers into business and academic settings and who had then subsequently developed the VIC-20 computer which was the predecessor to the Commodore 64. | | | Commodore even developed an incredible interactive stand-alone CD unit (based on the Amiga technology) called the CDTV which (along with Philips CDI) were the predecessors to many of the CD-based interactive game systems which followed. | | | The fact that users of the Commodore computers did not need to constantly reconfigure, re-install, and uninstall software or worry about viruses and system crashes (as is common with our more modern Windows computers) allowed users to spend the majority of their time actually using the computer rather than spending so much time fighting it. |

| | The commodore 64 is, along with the Apple II and the Atari XL computers, the most famous home computer. | | | The idea was to have a basic machine which could be programmed for a different game when the previous one became out-of-favor, and one would not have to trash the machine. | | | A great range of peripherals was developed for this computer and it can also use several of the Vic 20 peripherals. |

| | Commodore SX-64 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Commodore SX-64, also known as the Executive 64, was a portable, briefcase/suitcase-size "luggable" version of the popular Commodore 64 home computer and holds the distinction of being the first full-color portable computer. | | | An enhanced version of the SX-64 with dual floppy drives, known as the DX-64, was announced and a few have been reported to exist, but it is very rare. | | | The SX-64 did however gain a following with user groups and software developers, who could quickly pack and unpack the machine to use for copying software or giving demonstrations. |

| | Commodore SX-64 Executive - The First Color Portable Computer in 1983 |
| | Commodore Business Machines introduced the Commodore 64 computer in January 1982 at a price of $595. | | | In 1986 the GEOS operating system (for Graphic Environment Operating System) was released for the Commodore 64, which incredibly gave the 64K machine a GUI like the Macintosh and Amiga. | | | This was the first portable computer on the market with a color display, and was essentially identical to the regular C64 except for the lack of a cassette interface. |

| | CCS64 is a program that runs on your PC that turns your computer into an old Commodore 64 computer. | | | This means that the program simulates, or rather emulates the old computer, enabling you to run most of the old software you had for that old machine, running it just like it would in the past. | | | I myself use my Amiga computer to convert tapes, and for this I have built a Special Adapter in hardware that connects like an ordinary disk-drive to the Amiga and at the other side it has a connection to the Commodore C2N tape station. |
