horst Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 ... for my son. Does anybody has one and want to sell it to me? ? PS: and if you only has a Datasette or only a SID-Audio-Chip for the C64, I'm interested as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horst Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Ah, ok. Seems that I have to clarify a bit: with the age of 10, he started with a desktop pc i5 and 16gb ram. From that on, he is more and more interested in retro machines. I'm not totally sure, but I think currently he owns 4-5 (old) Laptops of different decades, an old IMac, 5 mobiles, 3 tablets and 1 C64. The C64 is the most beloved for him, and he works on different hardware parts. Also he has built different audio adapters for DOS Laptops. Unfortunately the Sound Chip of the C64 seems to be broken. Don't ask me! - he told me something that not all 8 channels are working but only 2, and that it is not possible to detect the concrete issue of it with his limited equipment. So, he is more interested in modifying the hardware then in sitting in front of a screen. From time to time I pray, that the C64 is the stop in his retro interest, not that I someday has to look out for a Z4. ? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clsource Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Seems like a cool and smart son. I currently do not have any C64. But maybe if he likes chiptune music these projects with arduino could help https://github.com/stg/Squawk https://github.com/blakelivingston/DuinoTune And this tracker for gameboys https://www.littlesounddj.com/lsd/index.php ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Arduinos until now, but RasPis. But these "Sound Things" are exactly what he is after. Many thanks! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flydev Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Amazing.. ?? I just asked to my boss if he still has something, telling me that all the things came to the trash some time ago, but he told me that he still have a Sinclair ZX-81 with 1KB of RAM and an 16KB RAM extension (http://oldcomputers.net/zx81.html). I will have an answer tomorrow. If you're interested, just tell me. For the C64, it look like we can find some machines here in France. 1 hour ago, horst said: From time to time I pray, that the C64 is the stop in his retro interest After the hardware part ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szabesz Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 My son is interested in programming not in hardware so our C64 is waiting for its new owner. Just PM me... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
