Oh WOW so Cool I remember growing up with my first Micro-Computer yes a Commodore 64 and used a 1200 Baud(Bps) modem to tie up the parents phone line by Dialing up local BBS's(Bulletin Board Systems). Good ol' Day's!💯👍🙂😁
My first computer was also a Commodore 64. I think I got it Christmas 1986. I got a disk drive a year later. I didn't really start calling BBSes until 1993 when I got my first IBM PC compatible. I was aware they existed before then, I just didn't know how to find any local numbers, lol.
Yeah man I hear ya, I didn't get the Disk Drive right away either, I got a Tape Drive first lol, they were so so slow, and a cpl years later I bought my first Print 🤔 hmmm I believe it was an MPS-803 model printer dot matrix Mate wow 😲. It's amazing what a person can remember when you think back sometimes correct me if I am wrong but I believe the floppy disk drive(5 1/4) was model 1541 I will have to Google that to see if I remember right 👍. Some Good Times though, the Good ol' days, and now I am thinking back again....and realizing I didn't have the modem for awhile and can relate about not being able to find or know about BBS Numbers right away. Have a great Day!
The first year I had my Commodore 64, I didn't even have a tape drive. However, I did have a neighbor I borrowed one from a couple of times. I remember spending hours typing in a magazine program only having to sacrifice it when I turned the power off, lol. When I did get a disk drive, it was the 1541-II. This was the smaller model with the external power supply and the color matched the lighter color of the Commodore 64C that I had.
I don't remember what model my first printer was. I believe it was some generic but Epson compatible model. Generally worked ok though.
Yeah ya 👍. I remember the 1542 v2 it was white and about half the length of the original right? Good time's!
