Creating the Commodore 64: The Engineers’ Story IEEE.ORG

Jack Tramiel wanted a new 64-kilobyte home computer in time for CES in January '82. He notified his engineers of this in late November, 1981. In their own words, the developers talk about the design sprint that followed created the world's best selling home computer.

You can integrate uv with your shell to enable autocompletion on the terminal!

The good stuff keeps getting better!

Take 5 minutes and look into uv. I'm willing to bet you'll like it a lot.

An isometric diagram of a computer room.  Along the left wall, four Magentic Tape Units, and one Sort Collate Unit.  In the far corner, two general storage drum cabinets, showing magnetic tape.  Along the right wall, one General Storage Control Cabinet, one Arithmetic Cabinet, two Program Control Cabinets.  In the near corner, one 90-column card control cabinet.  Along the near wall, a 90-column card processor.  In the very center, an operat's desk, labeled Console System.

My first ever exposure to code was in 5th grade in like 1981. Our class got a Commodore PET, and this guy would come in once a week and teach two students at a time some BASIC. After 2-3 sessions we were making the computer give a middle finger on a loop and the teacher couldnt make it stop lol
