25c3: The Ultimate Commodore 64 Talk

Der diesjährige Chaos Communication Congress steht ja voll und ganz im Zeichen der NSA-Ereignisse, so daß Retrocomputing doch ein wenig zu kurz kommen dürfte. Deshalb hier nochmal der „Ultimate Commodore 64 Talk“ vom 25sten Kongreß aus dem Jahre 2006. Ob das Versprechen „Everything about the C64 in 64 Minutes“ gehalten wird, müßt ihr natürlich selbst entscheiden. Infos zum Referenten gibt es unter anderem hier. Und zum Vortrag hier:

Retrocomputing is cool as never before. People play C64 games in emulators and listen to SID music, but few people know much about the C64 architecture. This talk attempts to communicate „everything about the C64“ to the listener, including its internals and quirks, as well as the tricks that have been used in the demoscene, trying to revive the spirit of times when programmers counted clock cycles and hardware limitations were seen as a challenge.
