Commodore (2010)

Brian Bagnall recounts the chaotic history of Commodore, charting how Chuck Peddle and a maverick team engineered the revolutionary MOS 6502 microprocessor on a shoestring budget. Driven by ruthless price targets, the engineers accepted unorthodox silicon flaws and pushed budget components to their absolute physical limits to produce the VIC-20 and Commodore 64. It is an extraordinary portrait of raw engineering grit triumphing over extreme component scarcity.
