Posting from my C= 64. Pictures to come.
Hi.
I am typing this on my Commodore 64 connected in via a serial port to a laptop running Ubuntu 13.04. This is cool. I called here 21 years ago with one of these machines and Novaterm. Now I am doing it again. |

Two floppy drives? High end! Wait, you have a 2 GB SD card in C 64? Can it COPE with that?

I was Atari all the way. I started with a 400 and moved up to an 800. I worked for an insurance company and was able to bid on a recovered Smartmodem. I had to solder my own serial cable for it. That was my first Cellar machine.

The Ataris were awesome machines. I know you can get the same setup for them too.
