Info-64 Issue #6

While this issue (placed in part through Benn Dunnington's editorial criticising the coverage of some other computer magazines) was still trying to give away a Commodore Plus/4, it was much more impressed with the upcoming Commodore 128 and LCD portable. It noted the Atari ST, but wondered if Atari could "even survive long enough to bring these products to market," reminded everyone Jack Tramiel "makes promises easily, and keeps them with difficulty", and was willing to wait for the "AMIGA-MACHINE".

Books & Manuals!

Commodore PET, VIC-20, C64, C128, and general 6502 stuff. Mostly programming-focused, but a few general purpose manuals are in the mix too. Some cover hardware, though not in depth.
