These machines are the best jump from analog circuit boards to digital stuff. Even for the youngest of us interested in it. I'm at the age of the Amiga era and PC Gaming early 90s, but still love the early 80s. And repairing them is like a blast. Straight forward and easy to understand with existing documents.
In a community full of old farts, like myself, it’s really refreshing to see a young girl so passionate about these old computers and consoles. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the video, especially since I also have a keen interest in exploring the more obscure Commodore hardware.😁
I'm not sure that you've shown the full process of soldering the 3.5mm jack! It is properly done as follows: 1. You solder in the jack; 2. Discover that you forgot to put on the jack shroud on the wire; 3. Desolder the jack (men are permitted to utter mild profanities); 4. Assemble and solder the damn thing back properly. I do that, you do that, everybody does that! 😋
I'm older than a VIC-20 but I hadn't heard of the MAX so thanks for the history lesson (you are never too old to learn!). Programming the VIC-20 with 3.5KB was challenging and (as a then kid) would have loved 6KB! Later moving to the C-64 with 64KB was mind blowing... 🙂 Great content!
I'm absolutely smitten by the enchanting combination of complete mastery of the english language combined with such a charming thick Italian accent. It's a pleasure to hear you speak!
Fantastic video! The attention to detail in reviving the old computer is truly impressive. Kudos to the creator for showcasing the perfect blend of nostalgia and craftsmanship. Can't wait for more content like this!
I'm currently working on a project using a microcontroller and starting to get worried about not having enough RAM. And my micro has 96kB! Amazing what programmers of the dark ages did with such "limited" hardware resources. Love your videos, keep it up!
@Sayakas_Digital_Attic I have a Commodore 64 box in my attic if you want it for free, It's the version with a rainbow 🌈, it was my sister's, unfortunately we no longer have the Commodore 😅.
It's always great to see others being similar young (well, as young as I can be at the age of 32 anyway) to be interested in vintage computing, it's a fun hobby to have :> I think the MAX is a cool machine too but suffered from bad R&D decisions, mostly the lack of RAM.
Congratulations ! Another incredible vintage video, difficult to obtain and fix. I was your age when I used this equipment. I will watch it several times. We look forward to more videos.
There is a USB stick that is a universal TV tuner. I reviewed it on my channel recently (November 11th video). I'm in the US and was able to get both a US NTSC signal and a UK PAL signal on it. Works really well and is very inexpensive.
We had an old Amiga 500 from USA when we were kids. So it had NTSC instead of PAL (Europe) and when we connected it on the living room TV, it would have the lower part of the screen beyond the visible area of the monitor. Some games were affected, many were fine. Eventually we got an Amiga 1200 and all was good.
I think MAX was never intended to be a computer but rather some kind of a "console" where you plug a cartridge and play. That's probably the reason they didn't add much RAM or a proper keyboard - not to mention this reduced the cost as well. I'm glad to see younger people eager to preserve old hardware. And in your case, you do that very well.
Besides showing us the modification, I'm glad you also gave us a history lesson regarding the evolution of the computer. That was very informative. Thank you and keep up the great work. Also, Happy Holidays!
I'm glad you have the patience for this kind of work. I get tired of burning my fingers with that soldering iron whenever I want to experiment with this stuff.
If you ever encounter a Rev. B board dont worry, there is an alternative way to brute force trace cutting. It is possible to preserve the trace and original functionality for potential future homebrew applications by making the composite mod switchable with a complete rerouting over an internal 2-way 6 pin ON-ON slide switch. The first step is to interrupt the path between the audio jack (audio-in) and pin 26 of the SID by removing cap C74. On the right side beneath the C36 print on the board seems to be a factory probe point for pin 26. The probe point (+) needs to be connected to the respective side of an aluminum smd cap via a wire bridge (botch wire😄). The (-) side of the cap will be routed to one outer pin on one side (row) of the 2-way switch. From the middle pin of the switch (same row) goes the last wire to the original THT (-) via point of former cap C74 on the board. The audio-in reroute/bypass is now completed. The second and last step is to route the composite signal wire from pin 5 of the RF modulator to an outer pin on the other side (opposite row ) of the switch. From the middle pin (same opposite row) goes the last "gorgeous" botch wire to the left pin ( former audio-in) of the audio jack on the backside of the board. The proper switch setup is provided in the manufacturers datasheet. Underneath the cartridge slot would be the perfect spot to locate both the switch and the aluminum cap, wich could be held in place by a tremendously appealing "hot glue gun job"😆 but double sided tape should also do the trick. This may seem to be a complete hackjob, wich it undoublty is but cutting traces is and has never been an option. I may be an WTCP-S wielding modchip hack but not an animal and everything has its limits, we are human after all. I dont care if something is rare or valuable because every PCB is equal and should be treated accordingly. When eveything fails there is always a way to "lift a leg" or a detour by removing a component to build a bypass path. A botch job must not be bad work because continuity is a gentle mistress, she only cares about conductivity not looks. This "workaround" is purely based on board schematics and the original mod and has not been executed, but would have the theoretical advantage of complete reversebility without the removal of parts and/or permanent damage of the PCB.

Nice. You should add a little (cartridge based ideally) soldering station to your wishlist :) , the old one you got is obviously doing the job , but brings back memories of my pre- station days (a long time ago !) , so much easier to use, and you can get the temp's down , can see they're quite high . cheers.
Thank you for the thought. I've already added a soldering iron to the wishlist, and it has been purchased. I can't wait to showcase it in the next video!😃
Nice and simple modification, I can see that you do everything with great care, amazing to see a young girl being interested in electronics (you look like 18). A little tip instead of using those thick PVC insulated wires you can use enameled copper wire (like it's used for winding transformers) it looks much neater on the circuit board.

I do electronics for nearly a decade (I am 27), even as a child I love everything that works with electricity.
Very nice! Also, your English is really good! It's cool to see such a rare machine in action! Never saw one before! And I can't believe it was so easy to modify! Inspiring!
@@Sayakas_Digital_Attic Haha, yes, it's an endeavour that can take the rest of your life 😅 Do you know whether it's possible to convert the Max to effectively a C64?
Funny how a couple or tweeks can change loading times, add support for newer hardware like an SD Card, or the ability to have far superior homebrew games with the amount of added memory. Home Computers were where it was at between the time Colecovision discontinued and the release of the NES. I had one a couple or years before that time period. If you had a home computer everyone who had an Atari 2600 came to your house to play video games. One of my friends had the Commodore 64. Forbidden Forest and Spy Hunter were the games we would play on it.
It's pretty much a platform at its barest to get the cartridge loader to run. Additional resources needed will be integrated into the cartridge. As mentioned in the video, it was primarily a games console.
@@BilisNegra Agreed, I just can’t imagine programming in BASIC with so little. I don’t think I would have even included a BASIC ROM at those specs. Seems cartridge use is all I’d do.
Seeing how easy the modifications to this system were, I now feel like undusting my old Atari ST and find a way to connect it to a modern monitor as well. (If anyone got useful hints to share, feel free to leave a reply!!)
The Commodore MAX Machine ended because Commodore took the membrane keyboard manufacturer to court (1/3 to 1/2 the keyboards manufactured for the Max were faulty). VIC-II and SID were designed for the abandoned Commodore 'arcade motherboard' project and finished before MAX/VIC-40 projects.
haha lol, i just remembered something, when i was a teenager, like twenty fire years ago or something, we had dendy game consoles (taiwanese nintento clone), and the power adapter port or the joystick connectors ports always broke off the mainboard. So first i fixed my own one. And then the other guys from the block and the neighborhood. :D fun times :D
I bought my first computer with my first own money in january 1982, a Sharp PC1211. That was a handheld basic programmable computer with a single line 16 or 20 character alphanumeric display. Kind of a basic programmable pocket calculator. I still have it, but it wont boot anymore. It ran on button cells only. I learned programming in basic on it. The next was a VC-20. Compared to the PC1211 this was a massive computer. It was followed by a C-64 and a C-128, the latter one didnt see much use, but i did some assembler coding on it. I got a 386, then a 486, four others i dont remember in detail, and since 2019 i own a i9-9900KS with a RTX2080Ti. Looking back to the VC-20, what todays computers can do was way beyond science fiction in 1982.
I'm in a similar place as you. I was using computers before there were home built computers (I used mainframes). I got to get an Apple II eventually, then a C-64, a C128, a Tandy 1000, and built computers up through recently (2019 also). When we look back it's totally amazing how far we've come (and how far we haven't).
As others already pointed out: Very nice to see the passion for "old" technology in you. Great content! BTW: The Music at 06:49 sounds a bit like a remix of "Abenteuerland" by the German band "PUR", but that might just be my imagination.
It really does actually slightly different not exact but that is the point of the sound of a remix. I mean it isn't a remix granted but I do hear what you hear also
@@Sayakas_Digital_Attic "Abenteuerland" is a really nice song. 🙂 If you like to listen to it, i suggest the Long Version (6 Minutes, 22 Seconds). I probably cant post the link here but the Title of the RUclips-Video is "Abenteuerland (Remastered 2002)" by the Channel "PURband".
The first micro-computer I could afford bought, programmed and played but also allow me to enjoy OST compositions ( within the tech limits of that particular moment of the C-64 release in Europe ). Your work and interest are not very common, unluckly: I hope it also helps to inspire more people to understands nowdays electronic machines but also helps to keep alive the good old D.I.Y. spirit alongside the passion for knowledge. Very nice t-shirt, btw. Thanks for sharing it, Sayaka!
I'm so glad your channel is growing fast and has more than doubled subscribers since I first saw your oacilloscope video a few months back.. I love how much research you do to add educational content to your videos. Your love for retro at your very young age is inspiring and I wish the best for you.
Well done. An insignificant mod that can be reversed. We (old timers) approve. Was the MAX pin compatible with a European C-64 power supply? If so, MAX users would have readily available solutions since modern replacements are everywhere.
Auguri, you're ace! :) Love all your videos and especially your way of presenting them as everything seems sooo easy to do ;) Sadly I'm not very good at soldering LOL Saludos desde España.
Gracias por tus palabras! I really appreciate your support and good wishes! I'm glad you enjoy the videos. And don't worry about soldering it's a skill that gets better with practice. I'm working on improving my soldering skills too! 😁
Two different frequencies (50/60), the voltage is 100V everywhere. Since a bridge rectifier doesn't really care about AC frequency when converting to DC, the same power supply works fine on both it only really affected things that used directly-connected AC motors like wall clocks (and, funnily enough, some VIC/C64 peripherals). Japanese AC wall clocks, etc. all had a 50/60 switch on them. While not a problem in Japan, the voltage was a bigger problem a long time ago since 100V supplies were rare elsewhere, so people outside Japan usually wound up just feeding them 115V, causing voltage regulators or unregulated direct-from-transformer circuits to run hot. Modern smarter switched power supplies don't have that problem of course.
Interesting Video Output Modification, enjoyed listening to your explanation, I love your American Accent. Its interesting that there is color video games at 2KB and it would be cool to invent a new modern game for a 2KB Commodore! 👌👩🔧💻⭐️💎
Ciao Bella, I really enjoyed this video. I never had a Commadore back in those days. My first computer was an Amstrad CPC 464 and then an Atari ST 520 FM. Do you know these machines? It would be great if you made a video about them one day. 😊
Is is very nice to see, that the "younger" generation is still interested in older hardware.
Nice video as always!
Thank you so much! I'm really passionate about preserving and exploring older hardware. It's fantastic to hear that you appreciate it.😄

I even owned a VIC 20 with a RAM pack to push up the native 3.5KB RAM to a whopping 8KB and I've never heard of this Commodore MAX machine EVER !
Wow, I've never seen a Commodore Max in operation before, very interesting to see. Excellent work!
I had never heard of this one before. Thanks for showing the insides!
Wow. I love to see that these machines are still loved and taken care of. Amazing work :).
Thank you!
The max never crossed my path. one day I hope to use one. thanx for the both the history and interesting modification.
I'm absolutely smitten by the enchanting combination of complete mastery of the english language combined with such a charming thick Italian accent. It's a pleasure to hear you speak!

Absolutely, I'm glad you share the enthusiasm for vintage computing! It's indeed a fun and rewarding hobby. :)
Routing a video signal through unused audio output - that's some pretty creative thinking.
You're so talented. Another great video! These beautiful machines will never be forgotten also thanks to you.
This attic seems like a fun vacation spot
Congratulations !
Another incredible vintage video, difficult to obtain and fix.
I was your age when I used this equipment.
I will watch it several times.

There is a USB stick that is a universal TV tuner. I reviewed it on my channel recently (November 11th video). I'm in the US and was able to get both a US NTSC signal and a UK PAL signal on it. Works really well and is very inexpensive.

If you ever encounter a Rev. B board dont worry, there is an alternative way to brute force trace cutting. It is possible to preserve the trace and original functionality for potential future homebrew applications by making the composite mod switchable with a complete rerouting over an internal 2-way 6 pin ON-ON slide switch.
The first step is to interrupt the path between the audio jack (audio-in) and pin 26 of the SID by removing cap C74. On the right side beneath the C36 print on the board seems to be a factory probe point for pin 26. The probe point (+) needs to be connected to the respective side of an aluminum smd cap via a wire bridge (botch wire😄). The (-) side of the cap will be routed to one outer pin on one side (row) of the 2-way switch. From the middle pin of the switch (same row) goes the last wire to the original THT (-) via point of former cap C74 on the board. The audio-in reroute/bypass is now completed.
The second and last step is to route the composite signal wire from pin 5 of the RF modulator to an outer pin on the other side (opposite row ) of the switch. From the middle pin (same opposite row) goes the last "gorgeous" botch wire to the left pin ( former audio-in) of the audio jack on the backside of the board. The proper switch setup is provided in the manufacturers datasheet.
Underneath the cartridge slot would be the perfect spot to locate both the switch and the aluminum cap, wich could be held in place by a tremendously appealing "hot glue gun job"😆 but double sided tape should also do the trick.
This may seem to be a complete hackjob, wich it undoublty is but cutting traces is and has never been an option. I may be an WTCP-S wielding modchip hack but not an animal and everything has its limits, we are human after all. I dont care if something is rare or valuable because every PCB is equal and should be treated accordingly. When eveything fails there is always a way to "lift a leg" or a detour by removing a component to build a bypass path. A botch job must not be bad work because continuity is a gentle mistress, she only cares about conductivity not looks.
This "workaround" is purely based on board schematics and the original mod and has not been executed, but would have the theoretical advantage of complete reversebility without the removal of parts and/or permanent damage of the PCB.

fantastic
Good job!
Enjoying your videos, look forward to more. 👍
what a beautiful channel...!!
Well done. An insignificant mod that can be reversed. We (old timers) approve. Was the MAX pin compatible with a European C-64 power supply? If so, MAX users would have readily available solutions since modern replacements are everywhere.
So cool ! I didn't even know about the Commodore MAX ... nice !
I'm glad you enjoyed learning about the Commodore MAX! It's always exciting to explore and share lesser-known gems.
I love all your videos and the music was really cool too
Thank you! I also really enjoy chiptune music🎮
Interesting way of going about this. Very cool
Auguri, you're ace! :)
Love all your videos and especially your way of presenting them as everything seems sooo easy to do ;)
Sadly I'm not very good at soldering LOL
Saludos desde España.
Gracias por tus palabras! I really appreciate your support and good wishes! I'm glad you enjoy the videos. And don't worry about soldering it's a skill that gets better with practice. I'm working on improving my soldering skills too! 😁
@@Sayakas_Digital_Attic Thank you for your feedback, Sayaka! :)
Now, you're my Myagi master, too, about soldering. LOL
Saludos!
Amazing video Saya, , keep going! 👍
Thanks! :))
Interesting and well done video, comment to bump the algorithm 😄
Thank you !!! :D
I think... I fell in love.
its simple but works great!
Congrats, both for the great intro and the tinkering! Looking forward to the next ones!
Great video, as usual...cool T-shirt, too!
Thanks!!👾
Yet another entertaining and interesting video, thank you :)
510 BYTES FREE. Who needs more?
your channel is nice. Keep it up
That is a rare machine. Nice work. :)
I have understood that Japan has two different voltages and frequencies in different regions so it makes things even more complicated.
Two different frequencies (50/60), the voltage is 100V everywhere. Since a bridge rectifier doesn't really care about AC frequency when converting to DC, the same power supply works fine on both it only really affected things that used directly-connected AC motors like wall clocks (and, funnily enough, some VIC/C64 peripherals). Japanese AC wall clocks, etc. all had a 50/60 switch on them.
While not a problem in Japan, the voltage was a bigger problem a long time ago since 100V supplies were rare elsewhere, so people outside Japan usually wound up just feeding them 115V, causing voltage regulators or unregulated direct-from-transformer circuits to run hot. Modern smarter switched power supplies don't have that problem of course.
I stand corrected.
outro music slaps xD
Nice modification. Well done.
Informative and interesting. Good job.
Interesting Video Output Modification, enjoyed listening to your explanation, I love your American Accent. Its interesting that there is color video games at 2KB and it would be cool to invent a new modern game for a 2KB Commodore! 👌👩🔧💻⭐️💎
I'm glad you enjoyed the explanation and the content. Regarding my accent, it's an ongoing proces and I'm continuously working to improve it 😁

Ciao Bella, I really enjoyed this video. I never had a Commadore back in those days. My first computer was an Amstrad CPC 464 and then an Atari ST 520 FM. Do you know these machines? It would be great if you made a video about them one day. 😊
I love your accent, and you use some nice chiptune music 👌
Thanks!
Thank you! I really appreciate your generosity. Your support means a lot to me.
