August 26, 2005 The Commodore 364 is now emulated in YAPE. Click here for programming information on the speech module.

June 12, 2005 I went back for more Commodore hardware and software yesterday. Due to the number of inquiries for particular items, I have started a list of what I know is duplicated or highly sought after by others. Click here to view the list. PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE so email me if you wish to trade or make a cash offer!

May 30, 2005 Acquired approximately 40% of a collection of Commodore hardware and software from a retiring Commodore business jsut east of Kansas City, Missouri. Photos of the new inventory are here.

May 8, 2005 Yes, there has been work done -- but it's been behind the scenes. Now that the house has been repaired from the January storm, I am finally able to complete the computer room. See here for photos.

March 14, 2005 Added General Ledger and Personal Finance to the Commodore download page.

February 25, 2005 Trojan Lightpen Software for NTSC Plus/4 has been uploaded. I only changed the two bytes that change the video mode. No timing loops or raster detection routines were modified. Please advise if you find any problems with this conversion. *This program loads to $4000.*

February 25, 2005 SVS has submitted the official BalSys Manual in Microsoft Word format for download. Also appearing for the first time is an English translation of AustroSpeed compiler. Visit the SVS Page now!

January 23, 2005 Superbase 2.0 for the Commodore 64 and Plus/4 has been added to the site. This download requires copying to a real disk drive and reproducing the original copy protection.

January 10, 2005 Maintenance and new uploads to the SVS page.

December 29, 2004 Commodore International B.V. has been sold to Yeahronimo Ventures of California, USA. Tulip Computers of the Netherlands will receive 4 million Euros up front, with the remainder of the 24 million Euro selling price to be paid in installments over the next 6 years.
Official news release:Tulip Website (will open in a new window). This does not affect the Amiga trademark, as that is owned by Amiga Incorporated of Washington State, USA.

December 13, 2004 Today I received a 'new' program in the mail... "The Sales Edge" from InfoDesigns. However the one I received does NOT state that it is for the Plus/4, as the original picture claimed. There is no Plus/4 version on the diskette.

Also from the same purchase, "Silent Butler" for the Commodore 64. This comes in Plus/4 style packaging but no mention of the Plus/4 is made on the box or diskette. The back over of the manual states that a 64 or 264 is required. Once again, no Plus/4 version is on the diskette.

November 28, 2004 A "lost" version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, for the Commodore 64, has been converted to the Plus/4 or a C16 with 32k memory by James C.

The program may be found on the cbm264 page.

August 7, 2004 The Webmaster would like to apologize to all the visitors to the site, for the Webmaster's lack of adding anything new lately. Those of you who are familiar with the personal life of the Webmaster have been very patient and understanding of what is happening off the website.

August 7, 2004 The SVS page has added a page with sample BalSys programming, as well as removing old versions of BalSys. The currently supported version is BalSys 1.2.

March 1, 2004 SVS has updated BAL-SYS to version 0.96Beta. Grab your copy from his page!

February 14, 2004 GEOS 3.5 for the Plus/4 and 1551 is now available for free download. Please abide by the restrictions placed by Maurice Randall at Click Here Software, and only download for your use, not for sharing with others. This offer may be withdrawn at any time.

February 2, 2004 Merlin 7501 Assembler Instruction Manual has been posted in Microsoft Word format. A downloadable disk will be forthcoming, thanks to Crown of GOTU.

January 12, 2004
Happy Birthday, 264 Series!

On January 13, 1984, the Commodore 364 was shown at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Presented by Jack Tramiel himself, the 364 sported a new, sleek housing, a numeric keypad, multiple function ROMs, 60K available RAM, and speech capability. The 364 was the first shown model of what became the 264 series of Commodore computers (Plus/4, C16, C116).

January 4, 2004 BAL-SYS is the new, improved version of BAL Emulator. Get a sneak peek or download the new Beta from the SVS Page.

December 8, 2003 SVS has once again updated Business Assembler Language emulator. He is now up to version 0.92. A beta disk and a what's new file can be found on his page. Also several more Commodore US/Canada packages, magazine covers, etc have been uploaded.

December 4, 2003 Added two Commodore public domain cassettes to the Commodore page. They are Math Games and Word Problems and Super Spell. Also some Tri-Micro ads have been added.

November 4, 2003 SVS has issued BAL Emulator for wide beta testing. Anyone who knows what a Business Accounting Language machine is, would you please test this program and let SVS know if you find any problems? Also, SVS has located a person in Italy who is coding a new Windows-type interface for the Plus/4. Screenshot links can be found on the SVS page.

November 1, 2003 BASIC 7.0 for the Plus/4 has been uploaded. Please email additional documentation to me for inclusion on this page.

October 22, 2003 Service data for the Plus/4 posted online.

October 17, 2003 I finally found my copy of Tri-Micro's Rug Rider. It's on the Tri-Micro page.

October 13, 2003 Added thumbnails to some Commodore programs, as well as some more Commodore related memoribilia to the Commodore US/Canada page.

September 28, 2003 General maintenance on the website for the next few days. I'm updating old links, removing dead ones, filling in holes in the archives.
As of now, the updated pages are: SVS of FIRE, Commodore US/Canada, Tri-Micro and Plus Exchange, cbm264 Software, and Scott Adams.
