Well, since I have been working on the FAQ, I took some time to finish up what
I could on the CBM MODEL list. Some notes:
EVERYONE, please check your 64 and 128 against the list. If you have a
config different from the ones listed, give me your name and the config.
I am eager to see just how many mutations there are.
I still have some unanswered questions. Please bear with me, as I have to
pick from hundreads of pieces of info, and some of it is contradictory.
Well, here it is:
Here is the newest edition of the Canonical List of Commodore Products. It
contains informations on every piece of Commodore equipment I have heard of
to date. Please help me weed out all the inconsistencies and nail down all
the information.
==========================Notes for this Release==============================
Before emailing me with updates to an item, please make sure the item number
is not alrady in the list. Sometimes I have people tell me that X is a
disk drive, when X is in the list already as something else. I can't tell
which one is right, so if you find contradictory info, please acknowledge
that your info does not match mine and what your opinion is regarding which
info is correct.
Any item that has letters after it in the far right column not only exists,
but is owned by someone. Now, a typo is always possible, but please keep
that in mind when telling me an item was never made, since Commodore
sometimes never marketed an item in some countries.
I put in any item that I think _might_ have made it to market, so everyone
needs to continually check up on me.
There list is in two parts: Marketed and Not-Marketed, since some models
were produced but never sold at the time of production (C65 is one of them),
and some models never got past the "pipe-dream" stage.
==============================================================================
======================Questions Still Left to Answer==========================
The 500 series baffles me. George obviously has a P500 machine. Was there
more in the P series? Are the 500 series just rebadged B series-40 machines?
Enquiring minds want to know. I have seen claims that the B500 machines
are 80 column, but the P500 of Page's looks pretty much like a 40 column
machine. Argh.
Ernie Chorney: Is you CBM 500 really a 500, or does it have another
number?
George, the 700 series: Can you confirm the 700 was a B128-80lp?
It looks to me like the 500's were B-XXX-40, the 600's were B-XXX-80-lp,
and the 700's were B-XXX-80-hp machines.
Is the VIC 1210 a IEEE interface, or the 3kB RAM expander for the VIC-20?
George, also ask Ron about the PC-30. I have claims that it is actually
a PC-20-II (XT) with a 20MB HD. See if it has a 80286 in it.
When the first Educator 64 (64 in 64 case sold to teachers), was it called
Educator 64? Do I refer to 4064 as Educator 64, or Educator 64 in PET case?
Is the A300CD a prototype 600? If so, what does CD mean?
Was the PC-30 an AT , or just a PC-20-II with 20M HD?
Was the PC-60 German, or not?
Was there a PC-80?
Is the line for the PC-70 right, or was it really 80486DX @ 33MHz?
Could the CBM 8023p really go to 250 columns?
I need to know if anyone has seen a 4031 LP and a 4031 HP.
Does the MPC 801 exist? Does anyone have more detailed info? Was it just a
rebadged MCS 801?
The PET 2001NT: Which PET 2001 was it, 08,16,32?
