      This. this is my childhood. Digging through discount bins at blue light specials in Kmart for cartridges and copying BASIC line by line from a magazine and recording it on cassette tape so we could play Yahtzee on the TV.

        Look at you with your fancy ps/2 keyboard port. Where's my AT port and 9 pin serial mouse.

                    Same. I remember needing converters for these newfangled PS/2 connectors. Then again, I am old enough that I remember why floppies were called floppies, and used tape for more than just backup. And hard drives being as big as a shoe box and with less storage than you now have as CPU caches.

                    Was the tape to cover the write protect notch on the floppy?

                        Me too... my first code was for Commodore PET. Then I got an Amiga. Sad day when Commodore folded.

                        Then you will enjoy the news that Commodore was bought recently and they want to build new equipments, starting with a C64.

                                  And because the PC only have 1 serial port, you disconnect the printer and use a parallel to serial adapter.
