Commodore: The MicroComputer Magazine – Issue Number 27 (1983)



Commodore: The MicroComputer Magazine was one of Commodore's early official publications. In 1983 when this issue was published, Commodore was still yet to reach its peak. The VIC-20 had been around a couple of years and was around the 1 million in sales mark and would be the first home computer to reach that number. The Commodore 64 was brand new and would become the best selling home computer of all time. Older machines like the PET were still around too. This issue includes: Features

• In the Chips - Where microchips came from and how they are made.
• Millions and the Microchip - How many times is a million times a second? Jim takes a look at the scales of time and size as they relate to your computer.
• The Logic of Bits and Pieces - Part 2 in Jeff's series explains two-state logic and how it works in your computer.
• 6502 Op-Codes - For the more technical among you, we've provided a list of all the 6502 op-codes with a description of what they do and how they affect the status register.
