zip1 Commodore Reference Diary 1985 [Jim Butterfield]

I don't remember where I got this, and it isn't really anything I would normally keep, but since it has Jim Butterfield's name on the cover I'm making an exception.  Check out the pages towards the end of the book, they have some interesting reference material.

zip5 Joe's 2nd Book for the C64

Joe's 2nd Book for the C64 by Joseph E. Gordon - This book is a collection of tips, reviews and type-in programs from various sources.  I'm not so sure this should be considered a book in the traditional sense because what it covers is so broad and really not in much depth.  It seems more like a diary of things Joe has worked on or played with since his 1st book.  All the same, it has some good information and references some interesting and useful software.

Here's a link to Joe's First Book for the C64

zip6 Joe's First Book For The C64

Joe's First Book For The C64 by Joseph Gordon - As quoted by the author:

"I had a Commodore 64 as a kid and had a few books, games, magazines, disk drive, printer and a tape drive. I typed in many programs from the books and magazines and even created my own programs. When my C64 broke, I sold everything. When I heard about the C64 Maxi, I got nostalgic and starting using VICE 3.3, a Commodore 64 emulator. Even though working with my C64 taught me that I didn’t want to be a programmer, I wanted to re-create some of the programs I wrote long ago and share them. This book is the result."

Here is a link to over 150 Commodore related YouTube videos Joe has created.  There are some nice videos on setting up VICE and using GEOS amongst others.

zip8 Repairing The C64 NEW

If a COMMODORE 64 dies after the warranty expires the owner has the option of finding a local repair shop or sending it off to Commodore.

Another option and the subject of this manual is fixing it yourself. How useful the tips found here will be depends on your electronics experience and resources. Even the most  experienced technician can save a lot of time with repair history on a machine he has not worked on before. On the other extreme, some people may have great difficulty with the simplest repairs. Where you fit will determine how far you want to troubleshoot. This manual will be of use to electronic repair centers by bypassing some of the learning curve that goes with taking on any new line of equipment, in this case the Commodore 64.

zip9 The Best of TORPET

The Best of The TORPET was difficult to edit. Not because the material was difficult to understand, or poorly organized, or of poor quality, but simply because there was so much good stuff to choose from and squeeze into 320 pages. I started out with nearly 1500 pages of material and squeezed, squeezed and squeezed.
