This information file is written to accompany the 6 different Commodore
C65 demo/utility disks archived and uploaded by myself on 30 November '94.
(The C65 was a computer that CBM was designing, but never brought to market. A
limited number were made available to the public in 1994 due to CBM's money
woes). The disks were made available to me for copying by Dennis Jarvis, who
was one of the systems engineers under contract to Commodore in the late '80's
and early '90's, prior to the bankruptcy/receivership (outcome still in doubt
at the time of this writing) of CBM Int'l. My understanding is that he was the
person primarily working on the DOS for the C65.
At the present time I have not had a chance to run any of these disks or
contents on my C65's. I accept no responsibility for the use of this material,
being merely a means for public distribution of them. I believe there are a
few files on them that refer only to the C64 and/or C128, but did not want to
take the time to "weed" out any extraneous material. I have no idea exactly
who is responsible for which files, but I'm sure that much credit must go to
Fred Bowen and also to Dennis. There also appears to be material duplicated
from one disk to the next, but I did not wish to change the contents of any
from its' "original" state.
The disks were archived using CS-DOS128, due to the mix of program and
sequential files that I felt would present problems if archived using a
mode under a different system such as MS-DOS or Unix. I include the original
directory listings and descriptions of the actual labels on the disks as a
means of keeping the information somewhat intact over time, and to help
determine which version of the C65 will work with which disk. Please format
and label your copies in keeping with this. And don't ask me about what's on
them. What you see is what you get, and it's exactly what I got, and I don't
know what it is yet! (grin).
The "-----------" at beginning and end of each "label" are merely to mark
the beginning and end of the label, and were not on the original label.
Numbers such as 910416 refer to the date the file or disk was originally done
(91 is year-1991, 04 is month-April, 16 is day in this example).
