Sales figures error

The article states - "Company sales records, however, indicate that the total number was about 12.5 million."

The sited source for this says nothing of the sort, in fact it states that company sales records indicate the number to be 17 million, whilst the original research done by the sited source indicates 12.5 million based on the collecting of serial numbers 86.166.89.91 (talk) 22:18, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Neutron64's contribution, reverted by Chaheel Riens

curprev 20:25, 12 February 2022‎ Chaheel Riens talk contribs‎ 118,843 bytes −946‎ Undid revision 1071419881 by Neutron64 (talk) what you need is some reliable third party sources to support the inclusion. undo Tag: Undo curprev 14:27, 12 February 2022‎ Neutron64 talk contribs‎ 119,789 bytes +946‎ I have added the UNI64 C64 computers and described how the development of these new C64 computers started. I have not put any links to the manufacturers, because that will probably be seen as advertising, which is not intended. It is only to point out that these computers were developed and exist. It would not be good if they were not mentioned in Wikipedia, because these new developments are unique.

I agree with Chaheel Riens here, (who reverted the contribution while I was investigating the Web store in question, www.uni64.com! lol) The UNI64 "computers" are actually unpopulated PCBs, they do not only lack cases and peripherals, they do not even have major components to make the boards functional. The PCBs have to be populated (apparently) by the user, with with salvaged original Commodore64 parts necessary (Perhaps SID can be replaced with "ARMSID", but this is problematic all around). I suggest Neuron64 look up "notable" and "notability" on Wikipedia. The "uniqueness" of the product is irrelevant to whether it gets included in Wikipedia. New contributions do need third party sources to confirm notability. 75.71.166.197 (talk) 04:22, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Commodore 64 Mods section or page?

In the last couple of years there's been an increasing number of third-party mods that enhance or change the C-64. I've mentioned a couple here but I am wondering if we should create a new page specific to that which we can refer to rather than this page becoming cumbersome?

Sidebar claims about CIA serial

The sidebar's Connectivity section claims that the CIA chips implemented an RS-232 interface, but researching the subject suggests that it was a bit more generic than that. Should it actually say "GPIO/RS-232/keyboard", or "GPIO/User port serial/Keyboard"? The latter of the two seems more informative to me. Regardless, I suggest that "keyboard" be capitalized. 2602:301:7764:AC00:B6D7:9679:4A33:AFEA (talk) 06:17, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Commodore Amiga?

As per my comments on the C=128 talk page, it seems to me that the Amiga can be considered a successor to the C=64, form a customer upgrade point of view, whereas from a technical point of view it would be the C=128. None of this is contradicted by my comments on the C=128 talk page, and in fact those comments support this point of view. You are - of course - welcome to have a different point of view, but please discuss it here as part of BRD, thanks. Chaheel Riens (talk) 21:13, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
