A Retro Computing Odyssey: The Mystery of the Yellow Commodore Disks

This article recounts the author's discovery of a set of unusual Commodore 64/128 disks, 'Penny Farthing,' created by the late Commodore enthusiast David Mohr (Lord Ronin). These bright yellow disks contained chapters of Mohr's science fiction story and games by the late interactive fiction author Paul Panks. Accessing the disks required specialized Commodore hardware and software (like Wheels GEOS), highlighting the allure of retro computing and its niche community. The story pays tribute to Mohr and Panks, and their contributions to the Commodore scene.
