Some information I gathered from various sources about a bit of an obscure computer from Commodore, the Max, also known as the VIC-10, the Max Machine or the Ultimax. Released in 1982 at the same time as the C64, there were only an estimated 50000 of these produced. According to my research, they were only ever really sold in Japan.

Extra special thanks to Manuel, who lent me his Max Machine to make this video possible!

Thanks to Brian Bagnall for his book "Commodore: A Company on the Edge" where some of the information I used for making the video came from.

Here's a video from Graham at the Commodore Cave YouTube channel showing off the Max in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQnek3Sj2LI
