8.4 Commodore 128
The C128 is a great computer with many features. No matter how you want to use your C128
(C128 or C64 mode) always start the C128 computer in the C128 mode, that was the way the
machine was intended by the nice people of Commodore.
The Cassiopei must be have the computer model set as described below.
When you want to it in the C128 mode, select:
C128 PAL or C128 NTSC
When you want to select a PRG of TAP file it will show you the files that are stored in the folder
C128/PRG or C128/TAP.
When you want to it in the C64 mode, select: C128 PAL [C64] or C128 NTSC[C64]
When you want to select a PRG of TAP file it will show you the files that are stored in the folder
C64/PRG or C64/TAP.
When you exit the Cassiopei menu program on your C128, using “EXIT & SAVE SETTINGS” the
computer will then switch to the C64 mode (if that is required) and starts the games/program.
C128D “metal model” C128D “plastic model”
As the image above demonstrates, the C128D plastic version require the use of an additional stand.
You can attach this by removing the back cover of the Cassiopei and then slide the stand gently
over the cassetteport connector, then replace the back cover.
Attention:
if you start your C128, with a cartridge installed or by pressing the Commodore key
during power-on/reset, the C128 will effectively be a C64, therefore the Cassiopei will be required
to be configured for a C64 otherwise it won't work as expected.
The C128 models, as shown in the pictures above, have an internal disk drive that can make the use
of the Cassiopei even easier thanks to the boot-disk functionality. The Cassiopei menu program
allows you to make such a disk. When you have the boot-disk inserted at the moment you switch
on your C128, the Cassiopei menu-program will automatically load and within seconds you'll see
the Cassiopei menu program without pressing a single key.
Dual screen:
The Cassiopei menu-program supports the use of the C128 in 40 or 80 column mode. So no matter
in which mode you work, you can use the menu-program.
