I remember drooling over things like that when all I had was a Commodore 286 12Mhz 640k...

A Commodore 286??

Yeap...IBM compatible, 286 chip, DOS 6.0...came out after C-64 sales started dropping. Used to cause lots of confusion at PC stores when looking for software.

I have this beauty sitting in my closet right now. I used to play on it at my grandfather's house all the time, writing little programs in BASIC and playing games :cheers:

I had a cartridge for the Atari 2600 that let you write in Basic, with a mighty HALF K of memory...then upgraded to a Commodore Vic-20 before the IBM compatible.
