Using the 64

Using the 64 by Peter Gerrard is a programming book for the Commodore 64, 341 pages, published by Gerald Duckworth & Co. Ltd, London; first published September 1983, second impression November 1983; ISBN 0 7156 1777 X.

A general guide to using and programming the machine.

What this book is not

It is a programming book, not a service document. It carries no schematics, no parts list, no component values and no board layouts, and it is not a source for a repair figure. Citing it for a capacitor value, a voltage rating or a chip location would be citing the wrong kind of document.

For component-level data on the machine use Commodore's own documentation instead:

• Commodore 64 / 64C Service Manual — parts lists, board identification and schematics for every mainboard revision
• Commodore 64 Technical Manual and Parts List — the drawing package, P/N 990439
• Commodore 64 Capacitor Replacement Guide — the wiki's component list, built from those two
