Poll: What Commodore computers do you own (choice of up to 20)?

[Blacklord]

Let's find out what everyone has - you can select up to twenty options (if you own more types of Commies..... well).

For "completeness" count the MOS KIM-1 together with the CBM release.

PET covers the 2001, 40xx, 82xx and 80xx varieties with the exception of the SuperPET.

CBM-II covers the P/B series.

I've not included the 364 but have included the C65.

C64 varieties are split as are C128 varieties.

For Amiga models, I've excluded things like the A1500 and A2500 - they are derivatives of other Amiga machines so count them there. Tower machines should be considered under their main type - ie A4000T as an A4000

PC clone covers the whole plethora of IBM compatible machines produced by Commodore.

If you choose "other" tell us what it is.

Does my homemade W65C816S SBC count?    I did steal some code from the C-128's M/L monitor and adapted it to the '816's 16 bit registers.

Ermmm - no as it wasn't produced by CBM

That must be why it doesn't have any hardware "issues" and can run at 12.5 MHz.      Maybe I'll figure out how to hook up a 1581 to it.  Then it might qualify, no?

Um - no

     Lance, I have a CBM mechanical adding machine.  Would that be considered a computer for the "other" category?

So do I - no

Gotta draw the line! No calcs either (of which i also have multitudes) and no typewriters

(sad to say, I also have a C= branded filing cabinet..........)

I can see why you excluded the 364 since it only exists as two or three prototypes, but why are all the other TED computers missing; the Plus/4, C16, and C116? They all went into production and at least the C16 and Plus/4 didn't sell too badly.

I checked "other" so I could include my two Plus/4s.

I also have the modern day KIM-1 clone Micro-KIM, but I guess it doesn't count since it wasn't made by CBM.

Edit: I didn't see that the CDTV was included. I have one, but I didn't even look for it in the list since I don't consider it a product made by Commodore â€" the way I see it, it was made by a company whose only connection with Commodore is the fact that they somewhere along the line bought the rights to use the brand. To me, that makes it "Commodore" as much as changing my name to Napoleon Bonaparte would make me the emperor of France.

Ah, yes, I had forgotten about my Plus/4s and C16s.  I'd better check other right now.

If someone had the Commodore Chessmate, that would be a computer in the other category.  (When I saw developer Peter Jennings at VCF one year, he was so proud of his machine.)

Well, Amiga engineer Carl Sassenrath worked long and hard on the machine, and so, I consider it from CBM (and there is that CBM sticker on it).  Carl had lots to say about at the Amiwest Show back in October.

Sorry - Plus/4 and c16 added.

Also the ability to change your vote added.

Change it to Barack Obama and you can be the Socialist-in-Chief.

You're right of course Robert. My apologies to the brilliant Amiga engineers. Total drain bamage on my end. I read "Amiga CDTV" but my brain saw "C64 DTV". The CDTV is obviously a Commodore computer (and I don't have one).

Thank you!

Btw, you may want to add the C116 too for completeness. It was released in Europe and there may be someone here who has one.

Hmm, I need clarification.  I see the button to Remove my vote.  As soon as I click that, will I be able to revote again?

  Well, CBM engineer Bil Herd did help out a little bit with the C64 DTV.

Correct!

[RobertB]

     O.K., I resubmitted my vote.  I had to combine C64 and 64C into just C64, because I had to stay within the 20 category limit.

Merely making a joke.

[Hydrophilic]

I answered assuming you want to know which computers I now possess.  I don't use my C64 since I got my C128 (but I still checked C64).  Friends/family have killed former models VIC-20 and Plus/4 (not checked).

[airship]

I checked "other" for my 2 64DTVs.

Which raises the issue of how many of each we own!

...and peripherals, controllers, software, etc...

I'd hate to guess actually. Only two 128's (a flat and a  DCR), a few 64's a couple of VIC's, a PET 2001, a PET 8296 and a plethora of Amiga models (pride and joy is my A3000UX). Plus one C16 and about a dozen Plus/4's.

As for C= PC clones :

PC5 (x 2)
PC10-II
PC20-III
Colt x 3
PC40
PC60
386SLT (laptop) x 2
486SLT (laptop)

Peripherals & software? Don't even bother asking me that question!

If you are speaking of C64 DTVs, then I have two or three NTSC ones and a couple of PAL ones (not counting the PAL one that is in pieces for modding).  I also have two or three Hummer DTVs.

Ah, I forgot about my Commodore 286 laptop with Windows 3.1 in French!  It was last shown way back at CommVEx v1 (2005).

          I can't tick off more than 20 on the poll,
