File Browse v2.0 by Glenn P. (November 3rd, 1997) - Not really sure how to classify this program because I don't have a category that really fits.  Basically this is a file reader that reads any type of file by poking it's contents to the screen.  One of the motivating reasons this program was written was to display PETSCII files that LOADSTAR stored in PRG files instead of SEQ.

There is an extensive writeup on the why's and hows of the program in the archive.

MSD Super Disk Drive Operating Manual Category: Hardware Manuals [C64]01-07-25

The MSD SUPER DISK DRIVE is perhaps the most versatile and efficient disk drive built for the Commodore series of personal and business computers. The MSD SUPER DISK DRIVE is unique in that it features both serial and IEEE bus interfaces in one unit. The result of this flexibility is that the MSD SUPER DISK DRIVE is compatible with the Commodore SERIES 2001 {with BASIC Version 3.0 or higher), SERIES 3000 (with BASIC Version 3.0 or higher), SERIES 4000 (with BASIC Version 4.0), SERIES 8000 (with BASIC Version 4.0), COMMODORE 64 and VIC 20 computers. The wide range of compatibility is accomplished by providing a dual serial computer interface and an IEEE parallel interface. These two interfacing methods allow multiple disx drives /and printers to share the bus concurrently. The use of the parallel interface provides for significantly faster data transfer over the serial bus interface. With the addition of MSD's optional CIE or VIE interface board (IEEE interfaces for Commodore 64 or VIC 20) that plugs into the expansion port of the Commodore 64 or VIC 20 respectively, the user is even able to obtain this parallel speed enhancment on the Commodore 64 or VIC 20. The versatility is enhanced even more by the fact that the MSD SUPER DISK DRIVE is upward compatible with the commodore 2040 disk drive and read/write compatible with the Commodore 2031, 4040, 1540 and 1541 disk drives. This means that disks that were saved from the 2040 can be read by the MSD SUPER DISK DRIVE and disks that have been created on the 2331, 4040, 1540 and 1541 can be both read from and written to without any harm to existing programs on the disk.

EPROM Programmers Handbook for the C64 & C128 Category: Hardware Manuals [C64]01-07-25

Welcome to the EPROM PROGRAMMERS HANDBOOK! This unique book is for anyone who wants to learn how to program EPROMs for the Commodore 64. In this book we assume that you have some general experience with your C64 already. Some experience with machine language and hexadecimal will help you pick up the concepts faster. You'll need an EPROM programmer too, of course. The EPROM programmer we use here at CSM is the PROMENADE Cl from Jason-Ranheim. We feel you just can't buy a better programmer for the C64. Although the examples in the book are based on the PROMENADE, you should be able to adapt the commands to your programmer if you have a different model.

Commodore 64 Doubler Manual Category: Software Manuals [C64]01-06-25

Doubler is the answer to hundreds of phone calls to our shops asking for a tape copier capable of copying "turbo" loading programs. Due to the ever increasing variety of loadere in use normal tape copying techniques are not practical as a different copier would have to be written for each type.

Doubler was designed over the phone by Richard Austin and Angus Ager. Angus wrote the software, which has been visually improved by "Ruby" Murray, and Bob Hitchcock planned the hardware. Testing has proved that Doubler can achieve 100S success in backing up any Commodore data.

Cardco G-Wiz Parallel Printer Interface Manual Category: Hardware Manuals [C64]01-05-25

The G-WIZ printer interface was designed to allow you to add most parallel printers to your Commodore computer. The design objective was to provide you with a system that would so closely duplicate the functions of the VIC printers that you would be able to run available software without any changes. To accomplish this task, and still allow you to make use of the special features available in today's high quality printers, required some special approaches to solving simple problems.

If you plan to write your own programs or customize existing software to enable the use of special features of your printer this manual should become your companion and best friend.

We have tried in this manual to document and fully explain each and every feature and function of our interface and how it will affect the operation of your system. We have provided examples and sample programs in an attempt to make each function understandable and useful to even a novice programmer.
