    Linux on a Commodore C64

    Cartridge for the Commodore 64 that packs a punch

  • Not Linux related, but I've been trying trying recent (at least to me..) C-64 accessories:

    I've tried the "Kung Fu Flash"- it's a software defined cartridge that is cheap- just a single STM32 and can do pretty much everything. I bought this because I'm trying to duplicate the developer experience I see on "8-bit show and tell"- it can emulate the "super snapshot", but not the REU. It's a really nice way to quickly try a lot of C-64 software and games.

    I also have an SD2IEC: what I've learned is that it would have been useful to get a variant with an extra DIN socket. It's nice but I was never a fan of C-64's DOS and this reinforces it. To mount a D64 disk image you have to: OPEN1,8,15,"CD:MYIMAGE.D64":CLOSE1... yuck..

    JiffyDOS (replacement ROM for the C-64) improves this (it's faster and includes a permanent DOS wedge), I bought one- it's on the way. I'm curious to try it with the real 1541 drive.

  • Commodore 64 (Purchased a joystick switcher and Kung Fu Flash card) My thoughts. The device is actually really cool BUT.. NOT a full replacement to the SD2IEC as it does not support disk switching. :( However it DOES support CRT cartridge's files!! and has some sweet menu special and reset buttons!
