• C-64 Setups

    From BiggieB@1:266/325 to Zofraq on Wed May 20 20:05:06 2026

    So, Who all has workig C-64 setup?


    I do! I have an C64 Breadbin, 1541 Floppy Drive & 1702 Monitor all from 1984 that I picked up used about a year ago. I added an Ultimate II+L /w Tape Adapter and I think I now have everything that was ever released for the C64 on an SSD drive - LOL. I also run a Commodore 64 BBS running inside of VICE, of Image BBS 3.0 LT Kernel, that's accessible from within my main BBS that is running Synchronet on Wn64. I can't run image on my C64 because it's not compatible with the Swiftlink emulation in the Ultimate II+L cart. Looking to get a new C64 Ultimate soon so maybe I can run the BBS on it.

    Image is compatible with the C64u and U64 I rewrote the turbo mode setup a few weeks ago and we are good to go now. By the sound of it you are running the BBS on a Stick? That is my project. If you need any help for it please let me know, and send me your FQDN so I can give your BBS a call.. :)

    Hey Bucko!

    Yup, BBS on a stick! You helped me in the past on your bbs web forums. The latest Raspberry Pi project is great and the system runs fantastic. Time keeps going off but I just need to make that adjustment you mentioned in the install doc. The BBS is call "Jersey JamBase" and is a side BBS to the main one I am running called "Jersey Jam BBS", which is running Synchronet. To connect to the Image BBS system you can go to JERSEYJAM.COM:6400. The BBS is pretty bare right now but I am slowly adding to it as I get time way from my main BBS.

    Cool.. I will give it a call today! Also the time deal, Make sure the CPU setup of Vice is set to 60mhz, if not it will lose time. That is a Vice issue upon assembling it. It sets the CPU to 50mhz.. If you need anything for it let me know.. :)
