Amstelsoft
Hello guys,
A few years ago I recived a Commodore 64 with some additional modifications and switches implemented.
The computer itself is an old version of the C-64, also known as "The breadbin". Okay so far so good.
It has some custom kernals one is the original and the others are SpeedDos and ProfiDOS. Then it has somewhat 6 switches, to change programs such as Vizastar, FCopyIII, Turbo/Burst Nibbler, Lock/Unlock, Floppy Monitor and some SpeedDos copy etc.
It has a label written "Amstelsoft" and all the software has the name written all over them.
Has anyone more info about this computer or actually Amstelsoft? Like if it was a bigger "company" or well anything that could be of help.
Best regards,
Xiny6581 :) |

There is a d64 formatted as AMSTELSOFT below.

But d64 content doesn't help much. |

Amstelsoft sounds Dutch. Just like Amstelbier and the river Amstel runs through Amsterdam. |

Sounds to me like some local lamer just plastering 'Amstelsoft' all over the software included. There where very little Dutch software houses back in the day, the only one I remember is 'Radarsoft', who made some educational software. |

Yeah but the fact remains they made some hardware modifications too and the mods. made are really good. No "frankenstein" constructionbed at all.
Take a look at some of the images from my machine.
