I was reading "Commodore - The Amiga Years" and my son asked me what it was about. I was going to reply "It's a book a about the company that made this computer" but I didn't, instead I replied "It's a book about the people who made this computer". Companies don't make things, people do.

ITs History!
The #Atari 1200XL was a 8bit #homecomputer running a #MOS 6502 #CPU at 1.79 MHz. When this beautiful machine was launched in 1983 with 64Kb RAM the price was under thousand dollars, but... https://youtu.be/JyA5tA5mmYY

$omehow, in the #8bitwar the #C64 was much more popular even when specs been almost the same. The difference in #BASIC language was less significant for the success. Most likely that competition was won by #Commodore because Jack Tramiel took the advice of his grandfather so serious.

More "extremely exciting" Commodore 116 keyboard work:

Instead of fixing the broken keypads, I decided to replace a part that I just couldn't stand looking at, but otherwise worked - the very dirty and butcher-soldered keyboard cable. But apart from the eye sore, I also wanted to make the keyboard detachable again. Perfect excuse.

So here we go. A pair of Adafruit pitch adapters, a flat flex cable, some soldering. Looks better, and it's working.

The previous hacked-up keyboard ribbon cable still attached to the keyboard PCB, and the mainboard, and the parts of the new adapters and cable laid out on the desk.
The new adapters assembled and connected, also soldered to the keyboard PCB. Also above i lays the old cable and the butchered original keyboard flat-cable socket on the mainboard, that the ribbon cable was attached to, for comparison.
The new adapter is now soldered to the mainboard as well, and the two ends are connected via the new flat flex cable.
Keyboard test of the Diag264 running, showing all keys are functional at least on the circuit level. A small piece of foil was used to connect the contacts, not the rubber pads yet. Below that, the mostly disassembled C116 under test.
