It was most likely after dark. It was lines of code and messages and a face every now and then would lean in so you could barely see it. It had a crazy sound . Any idea on what it was?

Greetings!

You're invited to attend a special Zoom meeting with Bil Herd, a Commodore engineer who designed a number of machines during the 1980's - e.g. Plus/4, C16/116, C264, C364. He's most famous for designing the Commodore 128, a dual-CPU, triple-OS, compatible successor to the Commodore 64.

We feel we've made progress compared with the first prototype. Thinner, more comfortable.

By now, most of you know that the Commodore 64 was the best-selling single model personal computer of the 20th century. It was such a popular computer, Commodore manufactured it virtually up until it went bankrupt in 1994, ending a spectacular 12-year production run. Just due to the sheer numbers sold, you likely owned or knew someone who owned a C64. With a staggering library of games numbering in the thousands, the C64 created great memories for its millions of users worldwide.

​

In 2004, a game console was released to rekindle those memories. Called the C64 Direct-to-TV, it was a fantastic single-chip implementation of the Commodore 64 computer, entirely contained in a joystick. Players simply plugged the joystick into their TV to enjoy reliving their memories with 30 games built into the console. The demand for this console was staggering - the shopping channel QVC sold 70,000 units on the first day alone!

​

Meet Jeri Ellsworth - creator of the C64 DTV. The Zoom meeting takes place on Thursday, November 16, 2023 - 7:30PM ET.

Hey, we've just released our devlog#3.

This week we unveil our very first working prototype for LXR, our AR Laptop for productivity (https://innoverse.substack.com/p/lxr-devlog-3-building-the-mammoth).

See it in action below!

We are now working on how to improve it in so many ways.
It is time to make suggestions, we would happily onboard them if possible!

Thanks for your input!

Hey, we've just released our devlog#2, this week we focus on the reference configuration for LXR, our AR Laptop for productivity (https://innoverse.substack.com/p/lxr-devlog-2-crafting-a-reference).

We opted for the Khadas Edge 2 as our SBC (https://www.khadas.com/edge2).

At this stage, we feel it offers a very good compromise between performance/size for integration into our ergonomic split keyboard.

But, maybe you have better suggestions!
As we would like to make it compatible with many SBCs, which one would you recommend?

Thanks for your input!

Hiya,

Won't you join us for a walk down memory lane?

TPUG (Toronto PET Users Group) is hosting a Zoom meeting with Albert Charpentier on Thursday, October 19, 2023 at 7:30 PM ET. And you're invited !

​

Mr. Charpentier was the engineer who designed the VIC video chip used in the Commodore VIC-20, the first personal computer to sell 1 million units. He then co-designed the VIC-II video chip used in the Commodore 64, the best-selling personal computer model ever. After leaving Commodore, he co-founded well-known music synthesizer company Ensoniq, responsible for the incredible sound chip that made the Apple IIGS an audio powerhouse.
