The first entry into the lowcost massproduction hobbycomputer world is the V(I)C20 machine. This machine had all the components of the later C64 such as the VIC videochip and serial IEC bus for periperals but with less capacity: low screen resolution, 4K RAM and very simple sound. It is therefore a mediocre machine with historical value.
Here you see the still operational VIC20 with 3K and 8K RAM expansion and the first single IEC drive, the VC1540.
In May 1981 I wrote a review
of the VIC20 for Radio Bulletin.
Othello
for the VIC20 was one of my first programs for the VIC20,
published in january 1983 in Radio Bulletin.
