SID!  VIC-II!  6510!  64K!  It's demo writer heaven...

Welcome to Show 032!  This week's topic: The Commodore 64 Demo Scene

Part I!

Topics and links discussed in the podcast...

PDP-10 lives!  Of course, we had no doubt.  Check out

PDP Planet, the portal into Paul Allen's
collection
of DEC systems!
If you get an account on the PDP-10, you'll need documentation, which you can
find at the Manuals for DEC 36-bit
Computers
site.  This site links to
bitsavers.org
, an extensive and impressive preservation site for systems
documentation and software.
A lost interview with ENIAC co-inventor J. Presper Eckert,
can be found on the computerworld.com
site.
Jeri Ellsworth, creator of the C64 DTV and other interesting hardware,
gives a talk at Stanford University
on the Google Video link.  (Note
that the video will begin playing immediately on the linked page.)
Bo Zimmerman's site
has
an extensive archive of NTSC demos
for the C64.
The C64 Scene Database has lots of
info and demo scene releases.
Have a look at Driven Online, a main
focal point of the ongoing C64 NTSC demo scene!
