Photos of the Commodore production line in Hong Kong
- Hasknewbie 12y agoYes, Hongkongese too can say that "We used to build shit in this country".
- JohnTHaller 12y agoI still miss my Commodore 64.
- ja27 12y agoThe fax number? How about that UUCP email address. Kind of sad to see all those PC clones on desks.
- lagunitosa 12y agoThe last 4 digits of the HK fax number is 1541, which was the model number for the C64 external disk drive. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_1541 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_1541)
- ja27 12y agoIronic that by then fax machines moved serial data faster across phone networks than the 1541 did over a 3' cable.
- bnastic 12y agoMost of them are Amigas (2000), it seems
- ja27 12y agoThere are definitely Amiga 2000s in the photos but most of the monitors have PC-style keyboards in front of them (look above the cursor keys - the Amiga one only has 2 keys (Del and Help) there rather than 6 and only 8 function keys, not 12). It's possible they're attached to Amiga 2000s with adapters but between that and what's on the monitors, I'm pretty sure most desks are primarily running DOS PCs.
- fasteo 12y agoRadar rat race. That's all.
- martin1b 12y agoVery cool. Reminds me of the video on youtube about the last day at a commodore facility. Definitely was ahead of its time.
