This is a quick demonstration of my CMD SuperCPU V1 for C64.
It shows the following:
- simple PEEK commands to detect the SuperCPU from BASIC; actually, the one that allows you to determine which version of the SuperCPU you have installed
- a few of the integrated JiffyDOS "wedge" commands: load a BASIC program (/), save it (back arrow), and scratch it (@S)
- a simple SINE BASIC program taken from the C64 Programmer's Guide, plotting a graph in both normal (very slow!) and turbo (reasonably fast) modes
- and finally the incredible adaptation of Rescue on Fractalus to the SuperCPU by Steven Judd -- more information in C= Hacking #17 -- the 3D effects are amazing
Hope you like it. I shall be selling this SuperCPU 64 on eBay soon.

I think this might be a new record for CMD hardware. This “new-in-box” CMD SuperCPU 128, together with its 16 MB of RAM and the coveted MMU Adapter, went for $1,400.

And just in case you missed it, a few weeks ago this other SuperCPU 128 (same configuration, but without the original packaging) went for $860.

I have finally managed to get BlogEngine & ScrewTurn running at the same time. They were stepping on each other toes because of web.config inheritance; I finally gave them each their own web directory and everything works well now. I will now slowly migrate the old news from the Wiki front page to this blog!

Enjoy this classic SuperCPU demo by DMAgic! It features an intro with a sample loop, then a main screen with a full-screen animation and another sample loop. It requires 1 MB of SuperRAM.

Yes, this site is being re-organized, as I have decided to add a Blog module to handle the front page news. I already have BlogEngine.NET running (as you can see), but I have hit some snags trying to make it co-exist with my ScrewTurn Wiki. Of course this is all temporary and will soon be fixed!
This will make it much easier for me to post quick news and content (even using Windows Live Writer! Yay!), whereas the Wiki will feature the real stuff like scans, e-texts, files, etc.
You will be able to access the old content on the SuperCPU Wiki as soon as it's back on line! In the meantime I will post some newish content here.
