On this page, I have collected some links to resources on Commodore (CBM) machines.
Manuals, Datasheets, disk images, and the like
Only loosely related to Commodore 8 bit machines, but interesting anyway: A history of the Amiga at arstechnica.com.

Emulators and Transfer Software
Emulators
- VICE is a versatile emulator for most machines of CBM's 8 bit line.

Transfer Software
- Star Commander is a DOS-based program for transferring CBM disk to the PC.
- OpenCBM (formerly known as cbm4win) is "my" project for accessing CBM drives from Windows. It is a port of cbm4linux to Windows.
- cbm4linux for accessing CBM drives from Linux
- 1581copy lets you access your 1581 3,5" drive in a PC disk drive.
- Markus Brenner has written some tools for manipulating CBM tapes.
- 64HDD makes a PC act like a CBM hard disk.
- VC1541 is an even older, similar project.
Hardware Projects
- C64 tower project
- 1541 Serial Interface Project
- FPGA-64 - a realtime C64 emulator in a single FPGA.
Programming Languages
- cc65 is a C compiler for 6502 based machines. (The site cc65 is the old one, which is not maintained anymore.)
- Pascal mit dem C64/Pascal mit dem C128 (in German) by Prof. Florian Matthes. The page is a mirror of an older version, because the page is gone now.
