DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the history\, technology\, and legac
 y of the Commodore 65\, one of the most fascinating unreleased machines in
  Commodore’s history. Conceived at the end of the 1980s as the possible 
 successor to the legendary Commodore 64\, the C65 represented an ambitious
  attempt to extend the life of the 8-bit platform while integrating featur
 es inspired by the emerging 16-bit generation. Through historical context\
 , technical analysis\, and direct experience with original prototypes\, th
 e talk examines the C65’s architecture\, including the 4510 CPU\, VIC-II
 I graphics chip\, enhanced BASIC 10\, integrated 3.5-inch disk drive\, and
  advanced graphic and sound capabilities. Particular attention is given to
  the machine’s difficult development\, its uncertain position between th
 e C64 and the Amiga\, and the reasons why it never reached the commercial 
 market. The Commodore 65 is presented not only as a rare collector’s ite
 m\, but as a symbol of Commodore’s creativity\, contradictions\, and mis
 sed opportunities. Its story reveals a crucial transitional moment in home
  computing: the end of the classic 8-bit age and the beginning of a new te
 chnological era
