| Commodore 128D serial
number HB1 015431 made in Hong Kong (shown above).
Fully working. |
| Commodore 128D
serial number DA 4 212146 made in West Germany.
Cannot read some disks, otherwise working OK.. |
|
| The 128D is a
128 with a built-in 5.25 inch disk drive and a separate
keyboard, giving it a highly professional appearance.
Like the 128, the 128D has three separate operating
systems: C64 mode running Basic 2.0, C128 mode with
more memory, Basic 7.0 and an 80 column display
option, and CP/M. This latter was the most widely
used commercial operating system until this time. |
|
| The Commodore
128D was introduced in 1985. It was probably the
best 8 bit computer ever, but unfortunately all
this came just as a new generation of computers
running MS-DOS came onto the market and the 128
and 128D were a flop. |
