8-Bit Show And Tell | MASTEROM 64: Rediscovered 1987 Commodore 64 KERNAL Replacement @8_Bit | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
MASTEROM 64 is a Commodore 64 KERNAL ROM replacement created by Norland Software Products of Milton, Ontario, Canada in 1987. It replaces the cassette ROM routines with other features of more use to disk users. This software was nearly lost and forgotten until MindFlareRetro was able to meet the creator and archive both the ROM and documentation. MFR asked me to take a look at the software which I was very happy to do, especially once I learned of its Canadian roots and connection with Transactor magazine.
