Subject: Re: CP/M on the Commodore 64
The current issue of RUN (March 87) has a response to a letter to Commodore
Clinic on a different subject (problems with the ram expanders on early C128s)
which hints at a similar problem with the C64 CP/M cartridge. The letter and
response are on page 92
The guy with the ram expander is treatening to sue or turn them in to the
Federal Trade Commission for false advertising. The answer says that Commodore
had some trouble with the Feds over the C64 CP/M problem and promised they
would stop advertising products and
features not actually available.
Maybe you have some legal recourse if one of the C64s that won't run the CP/M
is yours.
You might even get Commodore to replace yours (but its doubtful) if you
threaten to bring this up with the FTC again.
