All information on these and other technical details, such as machine language programming, memory maps, input/output guide, pinout diagrams of primary chips, and schematics of the computer, are here in this, the only official Commodore 128 Programmer’s Reference Guide.

    Much obliged, my C128PRG is falling apart!

    Btw, this also includes full information for the C64 as well, and has a better memory map than the C64PRG.
