  • commodore 1010 — (storage)   A 3.5-inch floppy disk drive for the Amiga.
  • commodore 1541 — (storage)   The best known floppy disk drive for the Commodore 64. The 1541 was a single-sided 160 Kb drive but converting to flippy disks would give another 160 Kb. The disk drive used Group Code Recording and contained a 6502 processor as a disk controller. Some people wrote code for it to vibrate the head at different frequencies to play tunes. The transfer rate was about 300 bytes per second. The 1541 used a bit-serial version of the IEEE 488 parallel protocol. Some third-party speed-ups could transfer about 4 kilobytes per second over the interface, and some "fast loaders" managed up to 10 kbps. The Commodore 1570 was an upgraded 1541 for use with the Commodore 128.
  • commodore 1570 — (storage)   Commodore Business Machines's allegedly "advanced" disk drive for use with the C128. It is basically a 1541 with the capability to use "burst loading" (like the Commodore 1571), and lots of new bugs. The Commodore 1571 was a double-sided version of the 1570.
  • commodore 1571 — (storage)   Commodore Business Machines's "advanced" disk drive for the C128. It was the double-sided version of the Commodore 1570 disk drive but, unlike the 1570, worked quite well. The 1571 supported "burst mode" loading when used on a C128 in native mode, which increased the transfer speed from 1541 speed to about three kilobytes per second (about a 10-fold increase). The 1571 could be told to emulate a 1541 for use with a C64 or 1541 disks. Bugs in early releases of the 1571 ROM affected access to the second side of the disk.
  • commodore 1581 — (storage)   Commodore Business Machines's 3.5 inch disk drive for the Commodore 64 and Commodore 128. The drive stores 800 kilobytes using an MFM format which is different from both messy-dos 720 kb, and the Amiga 880 kb formats. The 1581 supports a poor imitation of directories which are really just partitions and largely unused. It also supports burst loading like the Commodore 1571, but is actually faster as it is better designed. It has 3160 blocks free when formatted. The 1581 is the highest density C64 serial bus drive made by Commodore. However Creative Micro Designs (CMD) make the FD2000 (1.6MB) and (until recently) the FD4000 (3.2MB) 3.5" disk drives. GEOS users like 1581s as they are very fast when used with GEOS. See also Commodore 1541, Commodore 1571.
  • commodore 64dx — Commodore 65
  • commodore sx64 — (computer)   A "portable" Commodore 64. Shaped vaguely like a seat cushion, this cumbersome experiment in transportable computers had a detachable keyboard on one end which, when removed, revealed a 6" monitor and a 5 1/4" floppy disk drive. The curious combination of a bulky design and microscopic display are the most likely cause for the SX64's discontinuation.
  • common assault — an action that causes a person to fear that he or she is in danger of violent attack
  • common carrier — a person or firm engaged in the business of transporting goods or passengers
  • common council — the local legislative body of a municipal government.
