does anyone know of a GOOD .gif Viewer for the Commodore 64? I got the two off of the commdore ftp website in the USA and they are no good; I try to load a...
Tom, You didn't mention which one you tried. But, I would imagine that almost all of the ones you try will have similar results. You mentioned large file,...
All: Gabriel Noel, the c64 filmmaker, here. After over 300 hours of work spanning nine months, my latest video is done, and utilizes not only Martin Galway's...
Hello to everyone. I am a PC user but when I found the groups for the 8-bit Commodore computers, I thought I'd come in and post a few questions and also share...
I'll try to answer your questions based on my own experience. I'll assume when you said you "started" with an SX-64, you meant back in the day. If that's the...
Don't forget about the 3rd category, the lurkers! Personally, I don't have any specific questions, but I enjoy listening on the occasional Q&As that flow...
Howdy, howdy, Mr. Jackson. Welcome to the Classic Commodore group. I don't know what category I fall under, but I like to keep my finger on what's going on,...
Another point on the 128 is that it included a 64 mode that ran nearly all of the software for the 64. This gave 128 users a lot of software they could run...
Well what all of you are telling me, I've pretty much heard the round about story about the "demise" of the C128D. I just thought it was more like the Apple...
I think I figured out what I might do during the Labor Day weekend. Pull out a printer and check out the Print Shop type software. Most of my C= collection,...
If you have dot matrix ribbons that dry out (who doesn't?), don't toss 'em out! Run over to Dollar Tree, or whatever similar dollar store is in your area. Look...
Thanks for sharing this with me about your programs. To the person that asked if I trashed the SX-64, no I did not. I sold it and went Macintosh before I got...
Jim Brain is still active. He primarily restarted a famous online service called Quantum Link. Using old code and some dug up data captures, he wrote a service...
I've done a similar thing with some ribbons, albeit without the WD40, though I have heard it before. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Anyone here have a junked MPS803 printer. Mine had a fall not long ago and I've gotten it mostly repaired. All I really need at the moment is the flexi cable...
And thusly were the wise words spake by James Alexander ... Another thing that may work is using a conductive ink pen. I bought mine from a Radio Shack store,...

I know I *had* a junk MPS-803 printer, but I can't remember if I got rid of it yet or not. If I still have it, the part you need is all yours! I'll check...
Thank you for this link. I've heard some horror stories about the Q-Link parties on the east coast. I think this is neat. Do you know any more about Craig...
Hi Brian & Andrew, I've tried the conductive pen. It is designed for the typical rigid pcb. Tried on the ribbon (like) cable with little success. The main...
Hey gang, Color printers did make a nice Christmas present in 1984. The Okimate 10 was affordable color printing, although it was a thermal printer and...
Thank you for the information about the color printers. I was excited about the Star Micronic 1000 series and finally got the CBM compatible one but it was...
The Amiga 4000 was late and high up the Amiga line. There were few of them sold. Most of them were sold for use with the Video Toaster card. Very few were just...
Been lurking in the background for a while, reading the mail about printers. Was wondering --- Is there any way to interface an inkjet printer to either a C-64...
First, you'll need to get a Commodore to Centronics adapter. A company called Xetec was a popular vendor with their Supergrafix line. Here's an eBay link to...
Short answer, No. The Amiga was primarily renowned for it's graphics capabilities, not publishing. Even though it was able to perform decent printing tasks, ...
An inkjet from a few years ago might be useable if it had epson compatibility. One member of the user group I'm in does programming articles every month with...
I do not want to offend anyone on this list. I thank you all for contributing to helping me understand about the Amiga and certain DTP programs in the 8-bit....
Hello, again. This is Gabriel Noel, the filmmaker from Canada with another film, this one utilizing Martin Galway's gameplay music from 'Comic Bakery'.In my...
