Talk:MAX Machine

Release Dates
From everything I've read so far, I believe the MAX machine succeeded the C64 and not preceeded it, as the page currently states. I'll try and dig up some factual data to confirm this.


 * You are probably mixing it up with the C64GS? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.141.199.58 (talk) 19:52, 31 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I believe it was before the C64. It was advertised for sale in the UK through catalogues like Grattan. My parents ordered one, we waited months and eventually they sent a VIC-20 stating the Max was pulled from release. This was definitely before the C64 was released. 84.66.117.36 (talk) 16:18, 14 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree with the previous person. I remember seeing it in a Quelle catalog in Germany as a kid, but I'm confused, I thought back then that it was a cheaper version of the VIC-20 not the C-64. If it does have the C-64's hardware, that's kind of odd. Perhaps I didn't pay much attention to the details back in the day! :D 2003:73:AE32:5086:E008:75E6:5A2D:94BF (talk) 15:14, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

2K, not 4K
The Max had only 2K built in, not 4K. Here's an image of the board, clearly showing a single M58725 (2K x 8 static RAM):
