Bits&Terminal Jeff<p>The Commodore 64 manual came with a lot more stuff than I initially thought. There's also a CompuServe manual/documents, a VIC 1541 floppy drive manual, a C2N Datassette manual, a diagram of what to connect to your C64 and how, a flyer about the Commodore Information network (on CompuServe) and a flyer for VIC-20 software.</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Commodore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Commodore</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CompuServe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CompuServe</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/manuals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>manuals</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/LongIslandRetroGamingExpo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LongIslandRetroGamingExpo</span></a></p>
