- c128.bin@ (link)
- 390059-01 Commodore 128 character ROM. The first half has the standard
Commodore 64 character set, and the second half has the C128 mode character
set, which is slightly different. All characters except the lower case m
are identical with the Commodore 16 character set. The uppercase/graphics
character set is identical with the C64, including the reverse at sign (@)
bug, which is missing from the lowercase/uppercase character set.
- c16-hungarian.bin
- Hungarian Commodore 16 character set made by Novotrade. The capital A and P,
the lower-case i and the graphics characters $65 and $67 in the
uppercase/graphics bank and $65 in the lowercase/uppercase bank have gone
through cosmetic changes. The national characters are present in the
lowercase/uppercase bank in positions obtained by pressing the C= key with
a letter.
- c16-hungarian.readme
- Keyboard layout for using the Hungarian Commodore 16 character set. Typed
in the ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) character set; when viewed with ISO 8859-1
(Latin-1), the accents look a bit different.
- c16.bin
- Commodore 16 character set with more beautiful lowercase/uppercase
character set than the C64. The lower case characters b, c, d, e, f, h,
i, j, k, l and m have been improved. The font does not contain reversed
characters, therefore only 2 kilobytes.
- c64-german.bin
- An amateur hacked version of the Commodore 64 character set, with some
German special characters. This was found on a piggybacked EPROM in
a German VIC-20 (VC-20). There are three inconsistencies in the reversed
uppercase/graphics character set: The at sign bug/feature, the space char
(the ROM tries to define a fancy cursor), and the line-drawing char C=e
(code 113; an apparent bug). In the lowercase/uppercase character set
there are inconsistencies in following characters: @, j, m, y, space, ä
(code 110; the reversed ä is corrupted).
- c64-hungarian.bin
- An amateur hacked version of the Commodore 64 character set, with some
Hungarian special characters. Except for the at sign (in the
uppercase/graphics character set at position 0; in the lowercase/uppercase
character set at position 100), the reverse character set is consistent.
- c64-swedish.bin
- Official Commodore 64 Swedish/Finnish character set with the å, ä and ö
characters. In addition to the at sign bug/feature, there's a bug in
the reversed upper case Ä character in both character sets.
- c64-swedish2.bin
- Alternative version of the Commodore 64 Swedish/Finnish character set.
Compared to c64-swedish.bin, the Ä and Ö dots and the Å ring are wider.
- c64.bin@ (link)
- 901225-01 Commodore 64/128 character set. Every vertical line is at least
2 pixels wide in order to avoid color errors on television. Also the C=M
and C=G graphic characters have been made 2 pixels wide, which is an error.
The reverse at sign is not an exact reverse of the character, which can be
seen either as a bug (because of the 2 pixels minimum width restriction)
or as a feature.
- c65-caff.bin@ (link)
- Commodore 65 alternative character set, taken from a C65 ROM with
the checksum $CAFF. This is an exact copy of the Commodore 128 character
set.

- pet-1.bin@ (link)
- 901447-08 PET character generator ROM (BASIC 1). The character design
is the same as in 901447-10, only the lower case and upper case characters
have changed places. Reversed characters are absent.
- pet-2.bin@ (link)
- 901447-10 PET character generator ROM. Used in the Fat 40, 8032SK and
8296. Doesn't contain reversed characters. This ROM is just like the
VIC-20 character set, except that the code $1c (in both halves) is backslash
(\) instead of the British pound sign (£), which was used in the newer
character sets.
- pet-greek.bin
- Greek character generator ROM. Some Latin characters have been replaced
with Greek ones. This font is not very consistent: for instance, the
two copies of the @ sign at code positions $00 and $80, as do the
two copies of the capital Phi at $06 and $c6. This character generator
was found on a 4-kilobyte chip, whose first half was identical with
the 901447-10 character generator.

German 64DX (C65) prototype.
- vic20-japanese.bin@ (link)
- A Japanese character set used in the VIC-1001. The British pound (£) has
been replaced with a Japanese yen (¥) symbol, and the lowercase/uppercase
set has been replaced with an uppercase/Kanji set of glyphs.
- vic20-norwegian.bin
- A Norwegian/Danish character set modelled after the Vic-20 character set.
Used in the Norwegian/Danish Commodore 128. The characters @, !, /, <, >
and the up arrow are different, and so are many graphics characters. The
characters [£] have been replaced with ÆØÅ.
- vic20-swedish.bin@ (link)
- A Swedish/Finnish character set based on the Vic-20 character set. Grabbed
from a localized VIC-20. The reversed lower case ö is malformed.
Chip markings: NEC JAPAN R22101-207 / D2332C 510 UD7.
(Yes, it is a mask-programmable 4k*8 ROM!)
- vic20.bin@ (link)
- 901460-03 VIC-20 character generator ROM. Most lines are 1 pixel wide,
since there is no possibility of color errors with the Vic's wide pixels.
This character generator is also used on many PET computers.

The chronological order is: VIC-20, C64, plus/4, C128, C65.
- b/
- The Commodore 600 series was known as the B128 in the United States,
and the machine that was known there as the B256, was called the 700
series in Europe. These machines are also known as "CBM II Low Profile"
and "CBM II High Profile", respectively.
The 600 and the 700 series are almost identical, but 700 series machines
have a built-in monitor, a separate keyboard, and a different character
generator ROM. The 610/710 has 128kB RAM, the 620/720 has 256kB RAM,
and the 630/730 has 256kB RAM and a co-processor card (Z80 and 8088 were
planned, but it is not sure if these cards actually existed).
The 500 series uses a 6567/6569 VIC-II video chip instead of the 6845 CRTC.
It also runs at around 1 MHz instead of the 2 MHz of other Model B
computers.

- The 251913-01, used in newer versions of the Commodore 64 and some
versions of the Commodore 128, is a 16-kilobyte 23128 ROM chip. It
contains the Commodore 64 BASIC interpreter ($A000-$BFFF,
corresponding to the 8-kilobyte 2364 ROM chip 901226-01) and the
Commodore 64 KERNAL ($E000-$FFFF, corresponding to the 8-kilobyte 2364
ROM chip 901227-03) in that order.
- 64gs.390852-01.bin
- The 390852-01, used in the ill-fated Commodore 64GS game console based
on the BN/E circuit board, is a 16-kilobyte chip similar to the
251913-01. This one was archived from a 27128 EPROM 27128 EPROM chip
in a West German machine DA5 016014E, assy no. 250469, 252311 rev.B.
The chip has the label © 1984, 90 CBM / 390852-01 / C64GS ROM CS=DF34.
The BASIC part corresponds otherwise to 901226-01, but the 30 unused
bytes at $BF53-$BF70 are filled with $00 instead of $AA. The KERNAL
part has been modified from the 901227-03, and most modifications are
in the area $F72C-$FC92, which also contains a copyright message.
Many jumps have been redirected to $FB4D, which in turn jumps to
$F707, which in turn triggers I/O error #5.

- kernal.4064.901246-01.bin
- This 8-kilobyte ROM has been reported in various machines (4064,
PET64, EDUCATOR64), which are versions of the Commodore 64 built in a
PET case with an integrated monochrome monitor. The system interrupt
routine resets sprite, background and border colors to black unless
the high-order bit of the location 646 (cursor colour, $0286) is set. Using
any colour command resets location 646 and, therefore, the colors.
- kernal.901227-01.bin
- This 8-kilobyte 2364 ROM is the first revision of the Commodore 64
KERNAL. The RS-232 timing table is designed for exactly 1 MHz system
clock frequency, although no C64 runs at that clock rate. Unlike
later KERNAL revisions, this one does not detect the video system
(PAL/NTSC). This KERNAL was probably only used in early North
American Commodore 64 units.

- Firmware for Commodore disk drives.
According to William Levak, Commodore used six different native
disk formats:
2040/3040 - This is slightly different from later formats:
tracks 18 - 24 have 20 sectors instead of 19.
2031/4040/1540/1541/1551/1570 - single sided, single density, 48tpi
1571 - A double sided version.
8050 - single sided, 96tpi
1001/8250 - double sided, 96tpi
1581, 3½" DD with MFM
While we're on the subject, Commodore's single density drives are actually
double density, and the double density drives are actually quad density.
Quad density disks have the same capacity of high density disks, but the
magnetic film is compatible with double density disks.

- Serial bus based Commodore disk drives
- 1541/
- This directory contains ROMs of 1540, 1541, 1541C and 1541-II drives.
The ROM checksums are valid. If you add the byte values together
(adc data:adc #0), the sum of the $c000-$dfff ROM will be $c0, and the
$e000-$ffff ROM will add up to $e0. This applies also to the halves of
the 1541-II ROM.
- 1540-c000.325302-01.bin
- The ROM chip for $c000-$dfff. This seems to be the same on all
models before the 1541-II.
- 1540-e000.325303-01.bin
- The firmware of an 1540 (the drive that the C64 wouldn't keep up with).
The revision number might be something else than -01. A speciality of
this chip is the power-up message: 73,CBM DOS V2.6 V170,00,00. Did
Commodore want to call the drive V170 first? The ROM checksum is correct.
The long-board 1541 had the same hardware as the 1540; this upper ROM
was the only difference. The lower ROM was 325302-01 on both drives.
- 1541-II.251968-03.bin
- 1541-II firmware. Released in 1987.
- 1541-c000.325302-01.bin@ (link)
- The ROM chip for $c000-$dfff. This seems to be the same on all
models before the 1541-II.
- 1541-e000.901229-01.bin
- This is believed to be the first revision of the 1541 firmware. The
service manual says that this ROM is for North America and Japan only.
According to it, a 901229-02 also exists, but not in North America.
901229-03 is said to be the first version that is usable in Europe.
- 1541-e000.901229-02.bin

and the checksum byte at $fee6 has been adjusted accordingly.
- 1541-e000.901229-03.bin
- The firmware of an old-style 1541 with long board.
This ROM has an autobooting feature: if CLK and DATA are held low

a "&*" command.

The support for the optical "track 0" sensor, which was introduced
in the 1541C firmware, was removed in the 1541-II firmware.
- 1541C.251968-01.bin
- The firmware of an old-style 1541 in white case. This drive was introduced
around the same time with the C128 and the 1570, to make it look like the
C128 and the 1570, which was also in a white 1541-style case. The C128 was
also white. This drive has an optical track 1 sensor, but it won't be used
unless the jumper J3 on the board is cut.

drives. This is very similar to 901869-01. Ville Muikkula reports
that his 8250LP has a little circuit board inserted in the place of
the 6530 RIOT chip. Located on this circuit board are the original
901869-01 and a 2732 EPROM chip. The first 3 kilobytes of the 2732
are filled with $aa. In Marko Mäkelä's 8296D, the daughter board
contains a 901885-04 RIOT and a 74LS04 in addition to the EPROM.

- 9090/
- The Commodore D9060 and D9090 can use the same firmware. The difference
between these units is that the jumper J14 on the DOS board is open in
the D9060, and closed in the D9090 to select a 4-head vs. 6-head drive.
The jumper J13 seems to be unused.
According to Wolfgang Günther, the EPROM type may be 2564 or 2764,
depending on the board version ("Assy No. 300012-001, Rev.B" or
"Assy No. 300012-002, Rev.A"). This is the case of 300516/300517 rev.C.
