Commodore Disk User (January 1988)

Commodore Disk User (January 1988)

Commodore Disk User (CDU) was published in the U.K. in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It covered primarily the Commodore 64 but also the Plus/4 and Commodore 128. It was unique in that it came with a cover floppy disk and disk drives were not nearly as common in the U.K. as they were in the U.S. at the time. The February 1988 issue includes:
