I periodically pulled out the c64 from storage several years ago to show my kids what I grew up on. I expected they'd get bored and think it was lame compared to their PS3 and Xbox, but to my surprise, we ended up playing old Commodore games together all weekend. These computers truly are a timeless treasure!
I deeply appreciate that there are young people who are interested in that old technology from the early days - you are a perfect example. I grew up with those machines, that was an amazing time, no internet, no smartphones, but telephone booths and handwritten letters ;) Keep it up!
It's fascinating to hear about your experiences during that time. The simplicity and charm of that era indeed hold a special place. I'll definitely continue my journey in this direction. Thanks again for your support!
i love those replies from millenials saying they lived in that era without smartphones and stuff. its the same as on vietnam war video's. everybody on youtube was in vietnam it seems. or that war lasted longer then 1975 and nobody told me could be hahahaha.

My first thought when I saw this video pop into my feed was surprise at young people still enjoying such old technology. My second computer was a C64 (a VIC20 was my first). I loved that machine so much. I hope you enjoy it.
My first computer was a C=64 back in 1985 and I love getting to see someone learning on the same family of machines that gave me so much joy. Great job getting things to work, that must feel so rewarding! I look forwards to seeing more videos of whatever you're working on. You're doing a great job sharing what you're learning and I look forwards to your future videos!

wow you are so young and playing with old computers that I enjoyed many years ago. Congratulations I'm sure you are an inspiration for many young people around the world. Greetings from Mexico.
It's super interesting this video. A really cool project, and is really great that young people like you have interest in all those old computers. Congrats!
Always great to see an old electronic device get back to life after some fixes, especially on the first try and with things adapted like that! Well done on another really cool project!
I had a C16 when I was young, and loved it. The most useful feature was the integrated ML monitor - you could interrupt any program with the reset button near the power and examine it to see what it was doing.
What a great video, Eleonora! Really well done! The commodore Plus/4 was my first computer and i really appreciate, that you saved the C16 and upgradet it. This line of Commodore's are great productivity machines, but the small scene arount it has done really amazing things and games with it. Almost dedicates my own channel to it. Keep going with your great talent!
I would love to see a video about you, your background, what inspired you to take an interest in electronics, and how you have learned the skills you’ve developed. The videos you produce are fantastic, but there’s a lot of people out there doing what you do too. I think to help stand out in the crowded UA-cam space is a personal touch! 😊
Thanks for the video. Congratulations on the project. Would love to see a demonstration of some of the features of your upgraded machine. Cheers, David
Bravo for your patience removing those ICs with solder and wick. As someone who's also had to do that many times, I appreciate how frustrating it can be. You managed to do it on-camera, without apparently damaging the board or the ICs in the process. Amazing. 👏 A while back, I invested in a RadioShack branded desoldering iron with a red rubber ball that acts as a small vacuum pump. Best ~$30US I ever spent for desoldering, and I understand it can still be bought if you look around. We all love the mechanical vacuum desoldering irons, but as you probably know, they're hard to justify on a hobbyist budget. 👍
Thank you for the kind words! Removing soldered ICs indeed requires patience, and I'm glad the effort came through on camera. Your RadioShack desoldering iron with the rubber ball sounds like a brilliant investment! I'll definitely look into your recommendation. Thanks for sharing your experience :)
Awesome to see the younger generation that are interested in Retro computers. With your 64k Ram upgrade on the C16, you should have added a "2-Way toggle/flick switch". That way you can still keep with the original 16k of Ram. There's a few C16 games that wont run properly on 64k of Ram on a C16 machine. One of those being the Mastertronic version of Rockman but brilliant to see you've kept this beauty of a C16 going strong again.
Product background history itself is amazing. Thanks for another tutorial and links. Upgrading PC back then, without blueprints, schemes, internet sources etc. was like rocket science or Pro-OC.
Very nice video! Thank you very much. I it very refreshing to see someone so young taking an interest in retrosystems. Keep them coming. Cheers from Canada!
Sayaka's Digital Attic makes this look easy, except it is not easy! The soldering looks very neat and tidy, which is crucial for achieving reliable results.
You are an amazingly brilliant person! -- I bought a C16 when they were first released. Great little computer with a good command set. The only problem I had, was with it's limited memory.
The Commodore C-64 was my first computer back in the mid 80s. My dad came home with one 1 month before my birthday as a present and it changed my life. I pursued and achieved a career in IT.
That's an amazing story! The Commodore C-64 holds a special place in the hearts of many. It's fantastic to hear how it played a role in shaping your career. Do you still have the C-64 or any other vintage machines?🙂
@@Sayakas_Digital_Attic no. I had two of them and I donated them years ago. I wish I had just one of them. I still have the CPM adapter though. Back when the Commodore C-64 took off, the MS-DOS operating system was still in its infancy but there was alot of software running on an older OS called CPM.
@@Sayakas_Digital_Attic BTW, fun fact. I had the blinding speed 300 baud modem accessory that plugged in the back where that accessory port is. I used it to dial in remotely from home into a Digital VAX 11/780 cluster at the University of Houston to do FORTRAN programs for the programming course I was taking from the comfort of my bedroom. This is how we remoted in before the Internet became popularized 9 years later. The downside was that the terminals at U of H’s computing area were 80 columns wide and, as you are well aware, the Commodore’s screen is 40 columns wide so I had to make do with writing programs in line edit mode and this was very cumbersome. It worked though provided you didn’t have to do much editing. For running a program and getting output without driving 40 minutes to the campus it was great.
Your work is brilliant, Sayaka and I'm so deeply interested in this historical endeavour to learn about how the present computers came from and the beginning of video gaming it's an honour from a brother from South Africa 😊
@@Sayakas_Digital_Attic I don't recall whether the keys are the same plungers as the C-64, but the wiring is different. Missing keys would also be hard to source. Seems like you can only get them from Hungary (like $80 total). If you have a PO Box or safe address (business address?) I have a spare keyboard complete. You can have it. It's just gathering dust on a shelf.
Thank you so much for your kindness, I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness. It would indeed be quite useful. However, considering I'm in Europe, I wouldn't want you to spent too much on shipping.
Very well done! Excellent soldering, a little more explanation on the CPU pinout conversion would be a benefit to the community. Drop me a message, I'd like to help you out on your next project 👍
I've seen many videos on Commodore computers and never seen the trick with the CPU conversion - this is great! Your soldering is amazing too. I hope to see this computer working well for you.
It's awesome someone so young is still taking an interest in preserving these historic computers. The C64 was very special to me, and as with many others, ended up shaping my life and career. I just sent you a paypal gift to encourage you to continue. Maybe you can buy a new soldering iron, or some components? Keep up the good work :)
It's truly heartwarming to hear how the C64 has impacted so many lives, including yours. I really appreciate the gift, and I'll make sure to invest it in getting some new equipment to keep the work going. It means a lot to me. Thank you again!
What a terrific amount of information and an insight into the wonderful world of 8 bit. Honestly, I have no feedback on C64 or anything Commodore as I was a Speccy kid, but I still find it fascinating how different manufacturers took different approaches to both design and markets. Spectrum also had a 16K machine, but that is as rare as hens teeth now. Props to your research and your unorthodox workaround. It is the spirit of a true hacker. Awesome to see in this day and age. Thank you for sharing.
The C16 was the first computer I owned, gifted to me for my 13th birthday (appropriate enough, since I had nothing but bad luck with it). The 16 and Plus 4 existed briefly in the U.S. under a sad state of affairs. I remember thinking at the time that I'd never seen a company put out, not support, and abandon a product so fast. The one bright spot is that I got wind of a C16/Plus 4 users' group that operated over snail mail from Baltimore. I got the vast majority of my software from there. As there were no retail sources offering it here in the U.S., we had a nice little pirate distribution chain going for European C16 games! My C16 days were short-lived, however. Something shorted out inside and it died. It was replaced months later by a C64.
Modern young adults these days! When the 1980's pc's were sold, it was both a programming and building hands on experience. You wanted to improve your PC, you went to your favourite electronic shop on the high Street, paid a few pounds and added anything you wanted. Plug and play meant something back then. The commodores were popular as the keyboards were superior to the sinclair ones. And back then 16k or a mega 32k pc's were powerful. But thanks for the memor8es for my childhood

The Vic20 was the first home computer I'd ever used. At the time it was almost magical because my classes were on DEC PDP/11 which took up the whole wall of the computer lab. And here I was with one in my room.
Awesome projects, I'd love it if you made a video about how you got into electronics, where and how you learned about it and your trajectory until today. Keep it up!
Great job. It's very entertaining to watch your brief tech videos with old hardware & the 80's electronic music. Very unique for a modern UA-cam video.
Yay, it freaking works! Well done Eleonora, you were lucky that the PLA and TED chips were working too as these are prone to fail as well. I did this 6510 CPU modification to my C16 too, but with an adaptor I got from eBay. It's great to see someone so young interested in these vintage computers, keep up the good work 🙂.
The C64 was quite expensive, many couldn’t afford, and Commodore wanted to offer something for any budget. It wasn‘t a bad idea to sell the low-cost C16 which looked very similar to the C64 but eventually failed for its limitations, particularly games

Awesome soldering work and upgrade. Didn't know this was possible. ✌️✌️✌️✌️
Awesome projects, I'd love it if you made a video about how you got into electronics, where and how you learned about it and your trajectory until today. Keep it up!
Great job. It's very entertaining to watch your brief tech videos with old hardware & the 80's electronic music. Very unique for a modern UA-cam video.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy the blend of old hardware and 80's electronic music.
Yay, it freaking works! Well done Eleonora, you were lucky that the PLA and TED chips were working too as these are prone to fail as well. I did this 6510 CPU modification to my C16 too, but with an adaptor I got from eBay. It's great to see someone so young interested in these vintage computers, keep up the good work 🙂.
Nice soldering 👻👻
Awesome! I grew up with a C64 but I never knew until this video that the C16 was actually newer than the C64, thanks!
The C64 was quite expensive, many couldn’t afford, and Commodore wanted to offer something for any budget. It wasn‘t a bad idea to sell the low-cost C16 which looked very similar to the C64 but eventually failed for its limitations, particularly games
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generosity and watching, it means a lot to me and I'm happy to know that you like my videos😃I will continue to do my best to create ever-improving content.
