Commodore 128

The Commodore 128 was a home computer in the eighties, the followup of the Commodore 64. It had 128 KB of memory and a 1MHz processor, which could optionally run at 2MHz, but without video output. An external cassette player or floppy drive could be connected to it to store data. There was also a Commodore 128D, which had a built in floppy drive. It was mostly used for games, and for programming in Basic (which was built in). Unlike the Commodore 64, the Basic language on the Commodore 128 had instructions for playing music, drawing and animation. It could also run CP/M, a DOS like OS.

It was less popular than the Commodore 64 because at that time the IBM-compatible PC was becoming popular.
