I name this place, the Commodore Cabin. Another memory of the past located a short drive from home... 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. rob.i.am  Gender: Male Carpe noctum  |  |  Re: The Commodore Cabin <Reply # 1 on 5/22/2009 12:43 AM >   Ah the Vic 20. Did they have the external drive (cassette tape)? You've been a busy boy lately. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rob666/ metawaffle  King of Puns Location: Brisbane!

Oh, you mean the datasette! http://www.longexposure.net Intrinsic  Location: Collingwood Gender: Male  |  Re: The Commodore Cabin <Reply # 3 on 5/22/2009 12:56 AM >   Yeah, I'm always a busy boy. I don't know about the datasette because I didn't see the computer until I looked at the finished photos when I got back home. I can remember the good ole Vic-20 had only one joystick port. Someone wrote a tank game in which you could connect a second joystick to the RS-232 port in the back of the computer. I didn't own a computer back then (about 1982) so I went to a friend's house to try this thing out. I went to connect an alligator clip to the port (for the joystick add-on in back) and since the alligator clip has teeth on BOTH sides of it (and the RS-232 port has pins on both sides), I shorted it out and it died. My friend was not happy... I remember leaving hastily... until I later learned that it was just a fuse. bandi  Lippy Mechanic Bastard Location: Trent Hills, ON Gender: Male A liminal mind is all I've ever known.  |  |  Re: The Commodore Cabin <Reply # 4 on 5/22/2009 12:27 PM >   PRESS PLAY ON TAPE (Is that a Macintosh + in the one photo?) hi i like cars Axle  Location: Milton, ON Gender: Male Sieg oder Tod  |  Re: The Commodore Cabin <Reply # 5 on 5/22/2009 12:46 PM >   Posted by bandi (Is that a Macintosh + in the one photo?)

It only had 4K RAM, although, as I recall, you could buy an expansion module that plugged into the back where the game cartridges went.
