Every item is for either your Commodore PET, VIC-20, C64, C64c, SX-64, C16, Plus/4, C128 or C128D. Every product is currently commercially available or coming soon. That means that while you browse this guide, if you see something cool you can order it and have one for yourself.
The items are grouped into 12 broad categories and subgrouped thematically to help you find that expansion for your Commodore 8-bit that you never even knew existed, without first needing to know who makes or sells it.
Some items have feature pages, and more feature pages will be added over time. A feature page describes the primary function and use of the product, shows up-close photographs, lists the models of Commodore it is compatible with and links to the product's homepage and documentation. It also lists prices and gives clear instructions about how you can order it. The feature pages open up comments for the community to leave reviews, and to ask and answer questions.
Welcome to the Apple II and Apple IIGS Magazine Archives Website! This project was started in order to help preserve old publications that have been out of print for many years. These old publications are a valuable reference tool for those that own older systems or equipment, and also have an educational benefit to those who wish to research the building blocks of today's computer systems.
Our main focus so far is the archiving of old computer system magazines and books, mainly for the Apple II series, specifically the Apple IIGS, into full color high-resolution searchable PDF files and Internet friendly web pages, with a full indexing system. All publications are provided with full permission from their original publishers and/or the copyright owners.
A (hopefully) complete archive of the University of Michigan Software Archives (originally at http://websites.umich.edu/~archive/), which is no longer available as of 2023.

- Atari computers (8-bit, ST, TT, and Falcon)
- Assorted linguistics software for various platforms
- Macintosh software (for 68K and older PPC platforms)
- MS-DOS based computers
- Physics software for various platforms
- Old software for Unix and X11
This section of the "FujiNetWiFi" Git project contains applications, demos, and sample programs for the #FujiNet device. Some applications are generic terminals, for connecting to servers (e.g., netcat and PLATO). Others are clients for talking to standard online services (like twitter and iss-tracker), or #FujiNet-specific services (like apod and news; code for some of those live at https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/servers). Finally, others are apps or demos that exercise other parts of the #FujiNet device (e.g., appkey-sample and LiteSAM).
Generally, compiled executable programs are likely to work best if you disable built-in BASIC while booting your Atari (hold [OPTION] on XL and XE models).
