- I'm researching early bit mapped graphics machines & am trying to find out
- where the Commodores fit in chronologically and functionally. I've read
- the FAQ & the cbm-machines list, but ...
-
- Can someone clue me in on the order in which the PET, the VIC-20, the
- CBM-64 and the CBM-128 were made? And approximate dates? Is there any
- description somewhere of the differences in their graphical capabilities?
- Did any of them come with "hi-res" graphics
- [you-can-change-any-pixel-on-the-screen] vs. [lots of funny looking
- characters you can use as graphics]?
-
- Thanks much,
-
