#Commodore VIC-20

My VIC-20 serial adapter seems to work, although not completely.

The device select logic is not quite right, and the second serial port doesn't seem to want to respond. But the first serial port works well enough. Check that out! Now to fix a few bugs, and figure out what's wrong with that second port.

VIC-20 & William Shatner // The immediate predecessor to the famous Commodore 64, which sold over 1 million copies in the first 2-3 years after its release. William Shatner was the "face" of the VIC-20 commercials (video and stills), probably shortly after the first Star Trek movie. Still pictured is Michael Tomczyk, who played a huge role in the development and marketing of the machine.

To my knowledge, no production VIC-20 ever had that colorful sticker below the badge. So I had one made and attached it to my early American VIC-20 to recreate the aesthetic.

Since my vic-20 post is getting a lot of attention, I'd like to share some of the things I have for it!

Note that this is not my complete collection, but a good chunk of it :) Let me know if anyone wants to see more of my vintage computing gizmos! Much love <3

This includes VC-20's and VIC-1001's -- might as well be the same.
