Yesterday a Commodore 65, a rare unreleased prototype by Commodore, was sold on eBay for $9,100! You can follow the story on the Lemon64 forums. The seller, Dimitris Podaras, had bought TWO of these rare machine about a year ago, on eBay also, for $5,000 each. He just sold them both, this one with a nice profit!

One day we will know who bought the other one… ;-)

I have started working on a site dedicated to the CMD SuperCPU: supercpu.org. It is a Wiki-based site where I intend to maintain a list of links to existing SuperCPU resources, as well as some harder-to-find content, like articles from paper magazines or print ads.

Right now I have a couple of articles that I OCR’d from Commodore World magazine, as well as a couple print ads scanned from the same source.

The Golden Jubilee C64 was a limited edition of the Commodore 64, created by Commodore Germany to celebrate the 1,000,000th Commodore 64 sold in Germany. It is hand-painted in a gold color and fixed onto a plexiglass plaque. Each Golden Commodore 64 has a serial number written by hand; mine is #1,000,043.

Probably the greatest extension ever produced for the Commodore 64 by the wizards at Creative Micro Devices (CMD). It will boost your 1 MHz C64 to a cool 20 MHz.
