07.04.2024 - Viewing the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse with 1984 Commodore 64 Sky Travel - video from '8-Bit Show And Tell'
A Commodore 64 can be used to view the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse with the help of some software from 1984 called "Sky Travel: A Window To Our Galaxy". We take a quick look at the original boxed program, complete with floppy disk, manual, and diskette replacement card! Then with the help of a 1541 disk drive and some vigorous head knocks, we get the software booted, configured (with some advice from Commodore friend Bruce Thomas), and finally view the eclipse.
