    Since I didn't come with a real #C64, I asked #ChatGPT to simulate one for me.

    It worked surprisingly well, until we ran into a strange issue with the random number generator 😂

      Copying Commodore 128 Software - A ShareGPT conversation
      from @dom__inic
      This is a conversation between a human and a GPT-3 chatbot. The human first asks: I'm at a Commdore gathering. How do we make a copy of Gnome Speed, a C128 basic compiler?. The GPT-3 chatbot then responds: It's great to see that you're interested in preserving vintage software! However, copying software such as Gnome Speed, a BASIC compiler for the Commodore 128, involves considering both technical and legal aspects. If you own the original software, you can make a backup for personal use (depending on your local copyright laws), but distributing copies might infringe on copyright.From the technical side, here is a general procedure for copying software from a 5.25" floppy disk for the Commodore 128.Hardware needed:A Commodore 128The original 5.25" floppy diskA blank 5.25" floppy diskA 1571 or 1581 disk driveProcedure:Boot your Commodore 128 and load the disk operating system. You can do this by inserting the original disk into the drive and typing the following command, then pressing Enter:basicCopy codeLOAD "*",8,1 Once the disk operating system is loaded, you can use the BACKUP command to create a copy of the disk. First, remove the original disk and insert the blank disk. Then type the following command and press Enter:basicCopy codeBACKUP D0 TO D1 This command assumes that your original disk is in drive 0 and your blank disk is in drive 1. If your setup is different, adjust the command accordingly.The system will then create a copy of the original disk on the blank disk. This process may take a few minutes.Remember, this is a general procedure and specific software might have unique quirks. For example, some disks have copy protection mechanisms that prevent straightforward copying.It's also worth noting that there are modern devices and software that allow you to read data from Commodore 64/128 disks on a modern PC, which can be a more reliable way to preserve vintage software. Devices like the ZoomFloppy interface board connect a 1541/1571/1581 disk drive to your PC via USB, and software such as OpenCBM allows you to access the data on the drive.Legal Aspects:Always consider copyright laws before copying software. While making a backup copy for personal use is generally considered fair use in many jurisdictions, distributing these copies to others can infringe on the copyright holder's rights. Always check your local laws or consult with a legal expert if you're unsure.

    Someone brought a recent issue of the Amiga Future magazine.

    Browsing inside, I found this detailed review of AmigaOS 3.2.2! :amiga:

    The default Workbench look hasn't changed substantially in 3.2, but there are various improvements throughout the entire system.

    For instance, the boot menu has a new "Trace Startup Sequence" toggle which lets you single-step through the shell commands and optionally skip any of them. ❤️

    @phf I almost couldn't believe it when I found out: AmigaOS 3.2 was released in 2021 with Kickstart ROMs for all classic Amiga models.

    It was followed by two minor updates, and last month a "hot fix" was released with version 3.2.2.1.
