DE MENOR A MAYOR 
Mi primer computadora, allá por 1986, fue una Commodore 16. Luego de un tiempo, la vendí para comprar una Commodore 128 usada. Cuando empecé a coleccionar home computers, en 1999, recién pude conseguir ese eslabón faltante: la Commodore 64.
La alegría inmensa de hacer realidad ese sueño de pibe un día llegó. Tener las tres, una al lado de la otra, completas y funcionando: C16, C64 y C128.

Wait, isn't there something like a summer break for this guy ever?!
Nope. 'cuz summer 
time is…
Radio Irrtum! SPECIAL time!
↓↓↓ German version far below the English one ↓↓↓
Precisely said, the next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will be on air this Saturday, 2024/07/06, 8:00pm UTC+2/Berlin time, sharp. Over at Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz and DAB+ K7D around Berlin and worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio/15-live-auf-91.0 .
#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground to raise your attention for new unheard #music. So it's fine to ignore that German language aspect - 'cuz it's all about the music!
And this time there is a Special rolling in! The…
Chiptune PuNk Special!!
Up to date helluva #phunky #demoscene #chiptunes running on old rusty #homeComputers from the 80s like the #zxSpectrum, #C16/#Plus4, #AtariST, #C64 and of course the #Amiga.
No additional effects, no extra synths, no added drums. Just pure chippy bless!
Music full of #bitrot sample aliasing & strange chirps on brutally tackled chips like the #TED, #YM2149, #SID, and of course #Paula. No worries, I'll explain it all (however in German – as my station demands it).
With super cool music hackers like…
- @ne7@icosahedron.website
- Shiru
- @h0ffman@mas.to
- STU (didn't know him when I produced this show 4 weeks ago – just found his music excellent. However this weekend I was performing next to him on stage in La Chaux-de-Fonds (not kidding - life is sometimes full of surprises) - AND WHAT A SET HE DID, LIVE on his 2 original Atari STs!!)
- LMan
- Jammer
- @bacalao@v.basspistol.org
- Groo
- Xale or
- Psych858o
I've always wanted to produce THIS FEATURE and now it's right there, already uploaded to the station and ready 2 hit the aether. I'm totally happy how it came out and can't wait to have it in public. That is why I'll attach my in depth explanation trailer instead of just the animated Radio Irrtum! logo. This one: https://video.ploud.fr/w/iDTikV3q7y5YqeY2LBdLwn
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

Radio Irrtum! Chiptune Special
Diesen Samstag, 06.07.2024, 20 Uhr auf Alex Berlin, in/um Berlin auf FM 91.0 MHz und DAB+ K7D + weltweit im Stream (s.o.).
Brandaktuelle echte unverfälschte Chiptunes (kein Hall, keine extra Drums, keine extra Samples) auf alter Hardware der 80er, die auf deart absurde Weise durchgehacked wird (code only!), dass sie jetzt definitiv nicht mehr so klingt, wie ursprünglich gedacht – dafür aber major phunky! ;)
Details auf englisch oben, Playlist + Sendemanuskript nach der Sendung hier drunter und wenn ich mir was wünschen darf: Euch als Zuhörer:innen obendrauf. Danke Euch und vielleicht bis zum Samstag Abend…

… now that it’s working, why not upgrading it from 16kilobyte to 64KB of Memory!?
so out with the old, in with the new :)
but first I made an intermediate step to only change it to 32KB, because to make the whole thing work it needs two bodge-wires added, so I tested it after adding the first wire :)
the 74 IC on the left had to be removed because the change to be made is in the middle under that IC!
This happened between Tuesday and Saturday. 
… after some scoping it turned out the CPU wasn’t working, after replacing it, and also placing a Diag-ROM into the socket the computer showed signs of life.
with the regular Kernal-ROM still no Keyboard life, that’s because the PLA did noch select the appropriate IC to read from the keyboard, everything else seemed to work.
The PLA has been replaced by a modern part, what I already had in stock.
A new toy showed up at my door step the other day,
but it did not work also did not come with an original PSU so I had to use an alternative one, and that’s probably the issue the fuse was blown as new PSUs have center positive connectors, 40 year old computer has it center negative 
an adapter has been built, but no luck of getting an operational C16, just a black screen!
