Was waren das noch Zeiten mit meiner Datasette, bei der man den Bytes bei der Uebertragung zuschauen konnte, so langsam war dieser “Massenspeicher” (auch mit Turbo-Tape). Als ich dann endlich meine 1541 bekam und mein Dolphin-DOS Eprom eingebaut wurde, war mein C64 nicht nur mit neuen Schaltern ausgestattet (Ein Reset-Taster musste noch ins Gehaeuse “gemoddet” werden), sondern auch so schnell, dass er die naechsten 4 Jahre von mir taeglich bearbeitet werden konnte (bis dann Mac Plus und Amiga 500 bei Einzug erhielten). Ein knappes Mhz CPU Power und vermeintliche 64KB RAM, ja so gross bzw. klein war mein Computer-Universum vor etwas mehr alls 25 Jahren und verdammt, es hat damals richtig viel Spass gemacht!
Jetzt legen Commodore USA und Commodore Licensing B.V in den Niederlanden ein C64 Replika auf, welches mit dem Dualcore Atom D525 und der 2. Generation des NVIDIA Ion ausgestattet sein wird. 4GB feinster DDR3 Arbeitsspeicher, eine 1TB HDD und ein optisches Laufwerk lassen die Herzen der 80er Jahre “Brotkasten-Hacker” hoeher schlagen und verdammt, ich will auch einen haben!
