The Commodore Products Source List is a guide to help you find software, hardware, accessories and more for your Commodore 64 or Commodore 128. The Products List was started after a game I was playing died on me and I couldn't find any place that still sold it. (Later, I did find the program at Bare Bones Software. Sadly, they're out of business now.) This is its seventh issue.
As long as a company offers some C64 or C128 products, I've also made note of if they carry items for other computers, such as the Amiga or the Mac. There are also entries for supplies such as the DS/DD disks our drives use that are getting harder to find.
The Products List is not intended to be an all-inclusive listing of everything available for our computer, like the "Everything Book" that Tenex once published, but it seems to be getting closer to that. Since a web page is easily updated, perhaps we could use this as a central point for information on what's still available for sale.
Though I have done what I can to verify the information in this List, I cannot guarantee that it will be accurate at all times. Internet web sites appear and disappear rapidly, and in the past, the printed version of the Products List was published about once a year. It is up to you to contact each person/company BEFORE you send in money for an order. It simply is not possible to be aware of every company that no longer supports the C64/C128 and/or goes out of business, and I will not be held responsible for their actions or lack thereof.
If I receive feedback and updates, I will try to keep the On-line Edition as up-to-date as I can. The printed edition will have an update section attached.
Starting with issue #8, the Products List is available for downloading free of charge in an Adobe Acrobat PDF file. See the main page for the link to start the download with. Note that this version may not be updated as quickly as the on-line version. (It will show the date of the last change.) So it is recommended that you also download the Updates PDF to supplement the Products List PDF file.
If you are not able to download the PDF files and have them printed yourself, a copy on paper can be ordered by sending $5.00 to the address below. I do not plan to issue the Products List on disk any more. (Text files will be available for downloading, which a person could use to make their own disk version.)
Note: If you are ordering from outside of North America, keep in mind that this List primarily covers the United States and Canada. There are some entries for people and businesses in other countries, but prices and shipping charges are listed in U.S. currency, You will need to check with the person/business to find out what it will be for your country. To cover the extra postage required to mail the Products List to your country, please enclose an extra dollar or two, or contact me for "barter" information. Thank you.
Once you have the list in printed or electronic form, you are free to distribute it as you see fit. Include it in a newsletter (though it probably would work best to keep it as a separate publication), upload it to a BBS, make copies for your friends and/or club, etc. However, I still retain the copyright to this product, so my address must remain with it.
Please send any orders for the List (remember to send $5.00) to:
