The definition of C64/128The Commodore 64 computer to this day holds the record
for being the most successful model of computer ever made
with even the lowest estimates being in the tens of
millions. Its big brother, the Commodore 128, was not
quite as popular but still sold several million units.
Both units sported ROM-based
BASIC and
used it as a default "OS". The C128
also came with CP/M (it was a
not-often-exercized option on the C64). In their later
days they were also packaged with GEOS.
Both are based on 65xx family
processors. They are still in use today
and boast a friendly and surprisingly active
user community. There is even a current
effort to port
Linux to the C64 and C128 machines.
