The KDE Fan!

I'm a fan of the awesome KDE desktop, as well Linux, Free Software, Programming and Computers in general. Here you'll see images, videos and posts about those subjects.

80-US November/December 1980

The TRS-80 Model III (although a model that hadn't had its disk drives installed yet) joins the rest of the cornucopia on the first full-colour cover of 80-U.S. for this issue. The Color Computer and Pocket Computer received less elaborate coverage in the "New Products" section. Mike Schmidt's editorial contemplated how far computer games had come from David Ahl's collection of them to the opuses of Scott Adams and Leo Christopherson. In the "Notes" section, one comment insisted that if an output of less than 25 was made to the port for the Model II's video controller, "there is a very good chance that YOUR VIDEO WILL BE DESTROYED!", then explained "If for any reason your screen should go blank unexpectedly, accompanied by a very high-pitched whining noise, you have less than 7 seconds to TURN THE COMPUTER OFF!"

Have you ever had a 6501? Or did you know someone who had one?

[commodorez]

I wish I had the money (or luck) for a 6501.

I’ve seen a 6501 in the VCFed museum before, and I know a guy who knows a guy who owns one, but I’ve never seen it in person. The two of them tested it in an OSI-400 replica board.

In the even that I ever had the opportunity to give one a test drive, my OSI-400 has been specifically configured for the 6512 which is 97.5% pin compatible with the 6501 and somehow lawsuit-free enough that MOS was able to keep producing them. I have a jumper point that I can change to allow a 6501 to (hopefully) work within that setup.
