The »Rest In Pieces« pages

Different Commodore and/or hardware related items

These pages are not dedicated to a special subject. They provide very different items and informations that aren't related together at all. All the things here were produced for one or another reason, but aren't needed for any other web page yet. Because it would be a pity to throw them away, they are collected here in a huge heap.
