Vintage Computing

I collect vintage computers. The Commodore 64 is the centerpiece — a machine with more character than most software I've shipped in thirty years of professional development.

The collection is small and growing. Each machine has a story. This section will too.

Centerpiece

Commodore 64

Released in 1982. 64KB of RAM, a SID chip that still sounds incredible, and a BASIC interpreter that introduced an entire generation to programming. Mine does too.

I'm writing 6502 assembly on it now — slowly, carefully. The projects live in GitHub. This page will grow as they do.

Projects in progress

modbasic — A label-based BASIC interpreter written in 6502 assembly
ed64 — A full-screen text editor (DOS Edit-style) for the C64

More machines

Photos, machine histories, and acquisition stories coming as the collection is documented.
