Forty years after the release of the Commodore 128, I had the opportunity to sit down with Bil Herd, one of the engineers behind Commodore's most ambitious 8-bit computer. In this interview, we go behind the scenes of Commodore during the 1980s and talk about what it was really like to work inside one of the most influential computer companies in history. Whether you grew up with a Commodore 64 or are simply interested in the history of computing, I hope you'll enjoy hearing these stories from someone who was there! A huge thank you to Bil Herd for taking the time to share his memories and experiences

Having working as a kid myself prior to an online presence, times were very different, and people worked hard together to overcome tight deadlines and overcome issues. People had a better mindset, not this "quiet quitting" approach, or have this "not my job" attitude, and it was rewarding for everyone when everything worked out. Sayaka, this interview was awesome! The smile on your face, the enthusiasm, your obvious captivation with Bill's answers, these things cannot be faked. We live in very performative times on social media, but you obviously have so much passion and love for electronics and their backstories and it sincerely shows! It is contagious! 😄

Thanks Sayaka! I finally got the general answers to questions I always had about the 128.

What a wonderful interview, Sayaka—thank you for sharing it! 🤩 I’m really happy you had the opportunity to interview someone who played such an important role in the history of computing and helped shape the industry we know. We can truly see how happy and excited you are from the expression on your face and your smiles. You’re genuine, and that’s one of the things that makes you great! 😃👍🏻👋🏻

It’s always a pleasure to hear the spicy, technical, or historical anecdotes from the colorful character that is Bill Herd. Thank you for this new insight. The topic of his work at the new Commodore International Corp. wasn’t mentioned. I imagine he had to stay tight-lipped about ongoing projects. Such a pity 😉 Though he did hint at something to be announced in September. That’s already a scoop, isn’t it? So far, I’ve only heard about the C64C and the Callback.

I remember the 264, 364, B500, P500, rumors that came around to Commodore dealers. I had to program a demo for the Commodore plotter with no user manual. But those were fun days.

You're a great interviewer!

Lady! You have outdone yourself!! Wow-you’ve been meeting and interviewing really important people from the early days of personal computing and you’re doing a fantastic job! You had Bill Herd on his TOES! You were keeping up with him and he NOTICED! I think you made a new friend-he seemed very impressed about how much you know about Commodore and its people and products! I hope you and 8-bit Mama can find a way to attend VCF-that would be so awesome!! Maybe you two could do a Crowdfunding campaign-I know your fans would help make it happen-I’ll bet hers would too! Great interview-thank you for making and sharing it!!
