Commodore P500

 

General Information

The Personal Line of the CBM-II series, which never officially arrived! One source says that it conflicted with the C64 and was axed. It never saw the retail market.

Varied reports about the quantity of P500's in existence, some say less than 100, others say 1000's were produced.

Notes:

I purchased this machine on eBay and imported it from England. When it arrived, I had the unpleasant experience to find it not working. Turned out, the 6509 and the VIC fried.

Thanks to the kindness of Ruud Baltissen, who supplied me two functional 6509's, the P500 been brought back to life!
