What's next to my C128DCR

Sometimes next to the C128DCR, sometimes on top of the C128DCR, it's the Master Replica 33-inch Enterprise NCC-1701.  After a long session on the Commodore, I find it nice to engage the NCC-1701 and relax.  :)

MSDs galore!

Front

Back

Corroded caps and others from 2 drives

With Ray Carlsen repairing the last two MSD SD-2 drives I had, now I have an embarrassment of too many MSDs! The MSD SD-1 on the far left pictured above has JiffyDOS, as does the MSD SD-2 on the far right. The two center SD-2s have the CLD AutoCopy ROMs plus added memory for the convenient copying of disks without the need of Commodore computer.

Commodore P500 revealed

(Photos by Ray Carlsen)

At the July 28-29 CommVEx we exhibited Larry Anderson's Commodore P500, the "Colour PET". Unfortunately, Murphy's Law struck, and the machine would not display anything; its green power LED didn't even come on. On Thursday, August 2, I left the P500 for technician Ray Carlsen to examine and repair. He e-mailed later, writing that the machine worked for him perfectly. He sent me the following pictures. Enjoy!

Jack Tramiels - Commodore wine

(Photo by Larry Anderson)

Just in time for CommVEx, on Friday I received 3 bottles of Syrah wine from Baysinger Cellars. Note how the wine bottles are labeled, "Jack Tramiel's", in honor of the late Jack Tramiel, founder of Commodore Business Machines. This wine came from a batch which won a silver award at the California State Fair and a silver award at the San Joaquin County Fair. High class!

Commodore in student movies

Final scene from "The Robbery"

C= in the back seat from "Solo te mueres una vez"

Every year in my English Reading class, the students act in amateur movies as a class project. This year, for the first time since the 1980's, Commodore has appeared in the student productions. Above are screenshots from the 2 movies which had Commodore.

Extra points if you can name the game in the first pic,
