If the Commodore 64 is great, where is the Commodore 65?

It sits in the pile with the rest of history's pre-production computers that never made it. It's been awhile since I went on a Commodore 65 rant...

The successor to the C64 is the C128, arguably the pinnacle of 8-bit computers. It has 3 modes: native C128 mode with 2MHz 8502, backwards compatible C64 mode, and CP/M mode using a 4MHz Z80. Dual video output in 40-column mode with sprites plus a second output in 80-column mode. Feature-rich BASIC, built in ROM monitor, numpad, 128K of RAM, and of course a SID chip. For 1985, it was one of the last hurrahs of 8-bit computing that wasn't meant to be a budget/bargain bin option.

For the Amiga was taking center stage at Commodore -- the 16-bit age is here! And its initial market performance wasn't great, they were having a hard time selling its advanced capabilities. The Amiga platform took time to really build up momentum square in the face of the rising dominance of the IBM PC compatible. And the Amiga lost (don't tell the hardcore Amiga fanboys, they're still in denial).

However, before Commodore went bankrupt in '94, someone planned and designed another successor to the C64. It was supposed to be backwards compatible with C64, while also evolving on that lineage, moving to a CSG 4510 R3 at 3.54MHz (a fancy CMOS 6502 variant based on a subprocessor out of an Amiga serial port card). 128K of RAM (again) supposedly expandable to 1MB, 256X more colors, higher resolution, integrated 3½" floppy not unlike the 1581. Bitplane modes, DAT modes, Blitter modes -- all stuff that at one time was a big deal for rapid graphics operations, but nothing that an Amiga couldn't already do (if you're a C65 expert who isn't mad at me yet, feel free to correct me here).

The problem is that nobody wanted this.

Sure, Apple had released the IIgs in 1986, but that had both the backwards compatibility of an Apple II and a 16-bit 65C816 processor -- not some half-baked 6502 on gas station pills. Plus, by the time the C65 was in heavy development it was 1991. Way too late for the rapidly evolving landscape of the consumer computer market. It would be cancelled later that same year.

I realize that Commodore was also still selling the C64 well into 1994 when they closed up shop, but that was more of a desperation measure to keep cash flowing, even if it was way behind the curve by that point (remember, when the C64 was new it was a powerful, affordable machine for 1982). It was free money on an established product that was cheap to make, whereas the C65 would have been this new and expensive machine to produce and sell that would have been obsolete from the first day it hit store shelves. Never mind the dismal state of Commodore's marketing team post-Tramiel.

Internally, the guy working on the C65 was someone off in the corner who didn't work well with others while 3rd generation Amiga development was underway. The other engineers didn't have much faith in the idea.

The C65 has acquired a hype of "the machine that totally would have saved Commodore, guise!!!!1!11!!!111" -- saved nothing. If you want better what-if's from Commodore, you need to look to the C900 series UNIX machine, or the CLCD. Unlike those machines which only have a handful of surviving examples (like 3 or 4 CLCDs?), the C65 had several hundred, possibly as many as 2000 pre-production units made and sent out to software development houses. However many got out there, no software appears to have surfaced, and only a handful of complete examples of a C65 have entered the hands of collectors. Meaning if you have one, it's probably buggy and you have no software to run on it. Thus, what experience are you recapturing? Vaporware?

The myth of the C65 and what could have been persists nonetheless. I'm aware of 3 modern projects that have tried to take the throne from the Commodore 64, doing many things that sound similar to the Commodore 65.

The Foenix Retro Systems F256K:

The 8-Bit Guy's Commander X16

The MEGA65 (not my picture)

The last of which is an incredibly faithful open-source visual copy of the C65, where as the other projects are one-off's by dedicated individuals (and when referring to the X16, I don't mean David Murray as he's not the one doing the major design work).

I don't mean to belittle the effort people have put forth into such complicated projects, it's just not what I would have built. In 2019, I had the opportunity to meet the 8-Bit Guy and see the early X16 prototype. I didn't really see the appeal, and neither did David see the appeal of my homebrew, the Cactus.

Build your own computer, build a replica computer. I encourage you to build what you want, it can be a rewarding experience. Just remember that the C65 was probably never going to dig Commodore out of the financial hole they had dug for themselves.

Design and Installation Guide for Gasketed PVC Fittings

This document has been developed by the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association to serve as a comprehensive guide for the design and installation of gasketed PVC fittings. These fittings are used in various applications, including potable water systems, force mains, pressure irrigation, and reclaimed water systems. The guide specifically addresses gasketed PVC fittings compatible with different dimension ratios and outside diameters of PVC pipes up to 60 inches. It is important to note that this document does not cover solvent-welded or fusible PVC fittings.

Types of PVC Fittings

The following are the various types of fittings available for use with gasketed PVC pipes:

Tees: These fittings have an outstanding leg positioned at a 90° angle to the main pipe, allowing for the creation of a T-shaped junction.

Crosses: Crosses have two outstanding legs that are opposite each other, forming a plus (+) shaped intersection.

Bends: Bends are used to change the direction of the pipeline. Standard angles available include 11.25°, 22.5°, 45°, and 90°. Custom-built angles can also be manufactured, ranging from 1° to 90°.

Sweeps: Sweeps are used to change the alignment or direction of the pipeline while minimizing hydraulic losses. They typically come in angles ranging from 1° to 5°.

Couplings/Sleeves: These fittings are used to join two pipes of the same diameter. Their applications include:

Connecting existing lines

Joining short pipe lengths

Repairing damaged pipelines

Changing pipeline direction using high-deflection couplings

Reducers/Tapers/Adapters: These fittings are used to transition between two different pipe diameters.

Tapped Couplings: Tapped couplings are one-piece fittings with pre-molded threads, designed for service taps. They can accommodate various mainline sizes and come with numerous tap configurations.

Plugs/Caps: Plugs and caps are used to stop the flow in a segment of the pipeline, typically at dead ends.

Custom Products: Custom products can be manufactured according to specific requirements and are available with either push-on or restrained joints.

Manufacturing Methods

There are three main manufacturing methods used for producing AWWA PVC fittings, all of which utilize gasketed push-on joints. The internal pressure capacity of these fittings is equal to or greater than the pressure rating of the pipe with which they are used.

Fabricated Fittings

Fabricated fittings are constructed from sections of PVC pipe that meet the AWWA C900 standard requirements. These fittings are made from the same materials as the pipelines they will be used with, ensuring compatibility and durability. The body of the fitting is made from extruded PVC pipe that has already passed standard testing. Fabricated fittings can include single thermoformed bends and couplers. Additionally, multiple segments of PVC pipe can be cut into wedge shapes or prepared to accept leg insertions and joined under factory-controlled conditions to form a homogeneous structure. Reinforcement may also be applied and permanently bonded to the outside surfaces of the fittings.

Molecularly Oriented Polyvinyl Chloride PVCO

PVCO pipe, which stands for molecularly oriented polyvinyl chloride pipe, has been utilized in North America for over four decades, boasting an impressive track record with more than 20,000 miles of pipe installed. Similarities between PVCO and traditional polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe exist, including shared ingredients and cell classifications. Initially, PVCO begins as an equivalent PVC compound, undergoing extrusion into PVC pipe before undergoing physical modification to transform into molecularly oriented pipe. Consequently, both PVCO and PVC pipes qualify for cell class 12454 per ASTM D1784 and boast a hydrostatic design basis (HDB) of 4,000 psi. The manufacturing process for PVCO involves realigning the molecular structure from random orientation to circumferential orientation, thereby enhancing the material's mechanical strength and toughness.

Once completed, PVCO pipe achieves an impressive HDB of 7,100 psi. Due to the differing HDB values of PVCO, conventional PVC's dimension ratio (DR) classification is not applicable, with PVCO being solely referenced by pressure class (PC) or pressure rating (PR). In North America, Cast Iron Outside Diameter (CIOD) products range from 4 inches to 30 inches in pressure classes 165, 235, and 305 psi, while Iron Pipe Size (IPS) products are available in sizes ranging from 4 inches to 16 inches with pressure ratings of 160, 200, and 250 psi.

PVCO and PVC find common application in distribution systems requiring open-cut installations, with PVC additionally suitable for trenchless installations. The inaugural North American installation of PVCO pipe transpired in Kansas in 1979, following its development in Europe during the early 1970s and first installation there in 1974. By the 2000s, multiple manufacturers offered PVCO pipe in North America. ASTM F1483, published in 1993, marked the initial product standard for PVCO pipe. Early applications predominantly focused on rural water and irrigation piping. Subsequently, in 1998, AWWA C909 emerged as the first PVCO municipal water pipe standard, drawing from AWWA C900 in terms of requirements, safety factors, diameter regimen, product quality control testing, and joint qualification testing. Over the years, AWWA C909 has undergone updates to encompass larger sizes and align with revised design procedures from the C900 standard. In 2009, CSA published PVCO standard B137.3.1, further solidifying the standing of PVCO pipe within the industry.

Long Term Covid Effects

Assignment for Week of 9/27

Long Term Covid Effects

As someone who has had Covid and after two years still cannot smell like I once could, I am intrigued by Long Covid. I have been to the doctors and talked about my long-term symptoms such as lack of smell, brain fog, and fatigue. Often I think the brain fog and fatigue could be due to getting older the loss of smell makes me wonder. But answers are not easy to come by.

According to the CDC:

DEFINITION - Long COVID

“Some people who have been infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 can experience long-term effects from their infection, known as Long COVID or Post-COVID Conditions (PCC). Long COVID is broadly defined as signs, symptoms, and conditions that continue or develop after acute COVID-19 infection. This definition of Long COVID was developed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in collaboration with CDC and other partners.

People call Long COVID by many names, including Post-COVID Conditions, long-haul COVID, post-acute COVID-19, long-term effects of COVID, and chronic COVID. The term post-acute sequelae of SARS CoV-2 infection (PASC) is also used to refer to a subset of Long COVID.”

The Total Engagement for Facebook on Buzzsumo for the below article is 3.5K, which is significant. I think a lot of people are dealing with Long Covid.

https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/verify/covid-19-long-term-effects-symptom-list-vaccine-side-effects-latest-2021-info-when-do-side-effects-of-covid-begin-how-long-do-covid-symptoms-last/65-a2d4c8f8-c900-4c9c-bec9-5121344b92e5, wusa9.com has an article on Life after COVID: How the virus left two formerly active women barely able to leave the couch even months later.

Several sources are used in this article.  See below:

Dr. Walter Koroshetz, Director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders & Strokes

Dr. David Putrino, Director of Rehabilitation Innovation at Mount Sinai Health System

Dr. Greg Vanichkachorn, Division of Preventive, Occupational, and Aerospace Medicine at Mayo Clinic

Dr. Tae Chung, Assistant Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Johns Hopkins Medicine

 Michaelene Carlton, a long-hauler COVID patient

Keri Kae Gebo, a long-hauler COVID patient

Watching the videos of these women who still suffer so much for Long Covid is disturbing.

Several doctors estimate at least 10% of all COVID patients are battling Post-Acute COVID Syndrome (PACS).

https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/06/health/covid-recovery-what-we-know-wellness/index.html - cnn.com also talks about Covid-19 and its long-term effects.

“Some symptoms might linger:

People who get mild or moderate Covid-19 are told to isolate and can leave about 10 days after symptoms first appear if it has been 24 hours since they last had a fever (without the use of fever reducing medicine), the CDC says.

But some symptoms can persist beyond that 10-day window.

“Loss of taste and smell may persist for weeks or months after recovery and need not delay the end of isolation,” the agency adds.

Fatigue, coughing and headaches are other symptoms that can often be difficult to shake.”

It appears the CDC and other organizations, as well as medical professionals are still trying to figure out how to treat Long COVID.

Details about the NordicTrack C900 treadmill's features and capabilities

C900 NordicTrack

With the NordicTrack Pro Skier, NordicTrack entered the home exercise market in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Since then, they have grown to be major participants in the market for home fitness equipment, offering a variety of devices for at-home workouts, such as treadmills, exercise bikes, and elliptical trainers. The renowned ski machine is still manufactured by the company.

The Five Categories of NordicTrack Treadmill Models

NordicTrack offers five product line categories for treadmills, which are typically arranged by features, component strength, fitness settings, and price. Commercial, C-series, Incline, Fit (formerly A Series), and Elite are the five categories. The company's C series line of treadmills includes the best nordictrack treadmills.

Treadmills from the NordicTrack C Series

The Commercial line models are intended for the strongest and most durable construction, whereas the C Series machines are made with strong components (tread, frame, and motor).

The C900 and the C900 Pro are the two models that make up the C-Series group. Despite sharing the same fundamental parts, the C900 has a few extra features that make it more appealing for home users, and the C900 Pro has fewer features that make it more suitable for a gym or professional training facility.

Features for NordicTrack C900 Workouts

The C900 is a good option for a home user thanks to a few added workout-related functions. For a speedy workout, the C900 includes 20 pre-programmed workout routines integrated right in. There are five options that concentrate on burning calories, five options for speed, five options for incline, and five options for high intensity.

Additionally, the iFit Live exercise program is compatible with the C900 (sold separately). The online fitness program iFit Live lets users run a virtual course using Google Maps and Google Streetview in which the machine matches the elevation of the actual terrain. It also recommends custom workouts, tracks exercise progress across multiple workouts, and lets users create their own workouts.

The C900 has inclination settings that go from 0 to 15%; descent is not an option. The maximum treadmill running speed is 12 mph.

Comfortable C900 Features

The QuadFlex Cushioning from NordicTrack, a suspension system that softens landings on the treadmill deck to lessen trauma to bones and joints, is a feature of the C900. A fan on the console, which can be manually adjusted to a chosen speed or programmed to automatically vary its speed to match the intensity of the workout, also helps to increase user comfort.

The treadmill deck on the C900 folds up and may be stowed vertically between the upper portion's arms as a space-saving feature. The C900 has a hydraulic arm that NordicTrack refers to as Easylift Assist, which helps users lift the platform.

Specifications for the NordicTrack C900

When compared to other NordicTrack treadmill models, the C900's 3.0 CHP (continuous duty horsepower) motor is in the center of the pack. The dimensions of the tread are 20" broad by 60" long, and the diameter of the rollers is 2.5"—a specification that, like the motor, is in the middle of the range of possibilities. The maximum user weight is 350 lbs.

The NordicTrack C900 is the perfect treadmill for a frequent home exerciser because to its mid-level components, large range of built-in workout features, and available options. There are enough training and comfort options to prevent frequent users from getting bored, and the components can survive repeated use.
