Subject: Original Commodore source code


Hi —

A guy on the MARCH list (which I’m also a member) told me that you
might be able to answer a question regarding the archiving of original
internal Commodore source code. Many years ago (around 2000) I tried
to trace where original source code to the Commodore firmware and
application programs might have gone, for the purposes of preservation
and archival. I was particularly interested in the VIC and 64 (because
that’s where my interests were at the time). As may be expected, any
of my queries to various law firms went unanswered.

I know that various books from the era had ROM listings in them, but
I’m not sure if those were based on original documents from Commodore
or ROM dumps. I think it would be great to scan original print-outs
from the original development teams. If those exist somewhere on the
Internet, I haven’t stumbled upon them yet.

Any information that you might be able to provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Rich
