SOFTWARE
My software projects have own pages for easier maintain:
FastPC
- alternative way of communicating PC and C64/128 via parallel cable.
Here you can download DOS release:
PC server and Commodore clients included, also supported by
ACE written by Craig Bruce. In this
archive you can find source code for Commodore clients in
Turbo Assembler Macro format.
64net/2
- more powerful version of the above
LUnix the Next Generation
- I am one of the developers of this OS
CIA-IDE
- complete, open-source, simple and cheap IDE interface for C64 and C128
HARDWARE
At starts some pictures of my Commodore corner in home. Click to enlarge.
Here are hardware projects from other people you will probably want to know about:
+60K expansion (for C64)
(by Mr.Fiz/Samar) - as picture for C64, see also screenshot,
read below for C128 version
C128 Memory Expansion
- 256/512/1024K (by Marko Makela, with information about C128DCR version by me)
X1541
- connecting 1541 to PC
Cheap RS-232
- the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to have RS-232 with commy
Amiga Parallel connection
- scheme, info and program by JFK
Burst scheme
(by Mr.Fiz/Samar) - as picture for C64, see also screenshot
You'll probably need also these for managing C64/128 disk files and images:
Star Commander v0.81
and Star Utilities v0.81
My hardware projects:
DS12C887 RTC
- interfacing this chip to C64/128
CIA-IDE
- IDE hard disk interface for C64/128 using additional CIA chip, software for CIAIDE and IDE64
SIMM in C64
- page that describes how to replace standard DRAMs in C64 by a 256KB SIMM
RamCart
- page with some info about RamCart 64/128KB module
CPU Speed indicator
- a nice little thing that displays '1' or '2' on standard 7 segments one digit LED display,
indicating number of MHz that C128 CPU works with
+60K expansion (for C128)
- +60K expansion for C128, works in 64 mode and utilizes onboard memory chips,
schematic here
Dual Drive Burst Backup
- idea came from my friend Szymon 'Zyga' Zygmañski, info included - this is FASTEST COPIER EVER!
You need two 1541 with their burst cables connected each-other and to USER port. Source code for
Turbo Assembler Macro is included.
Ram Cart Burst Backup
- single drive burst copier that utilizes RamCart 128K, together with its source code for Turbo
Assember Macro
PC-Joy
- how to connect an analog PC joystick to C64/128, scheme and drivers included
GEOS128 ROMS
- want to boot GEOS128 from internal ROM? Burn one of these files into 32K EPROM and push it into U36
socket in C128
GEOS128 ROM Toolkit
- stuff necessary to build own images like these above, beware - it is not very easy
Here is a shot of my stacked ROMs. Click to enlarge. Don't be afraid, the majority of wires on the picture
belongs to other expansions built inside my C128, like 256KB (note stacked MMU and memory chips) and second sid.
