#CommanderX16

2025-03-23

The OtterX is up and running. In case you’re wondering what this is, it’s a Commander X16 computer in a Mini-ITX form factor.

Is a future version of the #Mega65 with more expansion capabilities than just the trap door slot at all likely? I like the Mega65's speed and memory expansion, but I also like the #commanderx16 with it's fair number of expansion slots.

[P] I think I may stilll love the Amiga's Paula more vis-a-vis haunting synth, but...

The Sid chip could still really knock it out of the park, though. This kind of synth is a lost art. A moment of history that's already gone. I do miss the synth of the late '80s and '90s.

[P] Just laying in bed chatting with headmates and looking at footage of the Commander X16 while letting my partner wake up at their own pace, and... damn, I forgot how good the C64's SID chip could sound. In the hands of a talented musician, that synth could be hauntingly ethereal and otherworldly. I have a soft spot for the Mega Drive's Yamaha but... there's something so otherworldly about C64 tunes done right. For a soul with harsh hiraeth? It's neat.
