This video is both a short intro to the channel, the aim of the videos, and gets into the basics of the hardware that makes up the Commodore 128D. I cover the basic 8502 architecture, and a light touch on the Commodore machine language monitor. Apologies for not going into more detail with the 8502 instructions -- I hope to do another video with more detail on how it works. In the meantime, I highly recommend http://www.6502.org and also skilldrick's Easy6502 tutorial at https://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/ The music used in the video were songs by Jeremy Blake, specifically Powerup!, Stardrive, and Sunspots. They're available free on YouTube, and Jeremy talks about them here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxK9suV8J2M ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2ssNXhEsIc

Let's cover the basics of the SID chip, and how to make sound with it!
