New book about Commodore and Apple
Find out more about the competition between Apple and Commodore in a
new book, "The Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore". At least twice
in their history, Commodore discussed either purchasing Apple or
selling themselves to Apple. Apple and Commodore not only fought each
other, but they occasionally cooperated, such as when Commodore
engineer Chuck Peddle (the 6502 inventor) helping Steve Wozniak bring
up his Apple computer in his garage.
The Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore is a detailed history of
the company behind the best selling computer system of all time, the
Commodore 64. This book was almost two years in the making, using over
44 hours of interviews with Commodore engineers and managers.
