Powered by the 7501 (or, in some models, 8501) CPU, the selling point of the machine was its cheap price - US$99 at launch - making it a highly affordable option for families at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the original publisher Melbourne House wrote: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*****\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompiled exclusively for Commodore 16 users, \u003cem\u003eCommodore 16 Machine Language for the Absolute Beginner\u003c\/em\u003e offers complete instructions in 7501 machine language - the 7501 CPU is part of the 6502 family and is at the heart of the Commodore 16.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are frustrated by the limitations of BASIC and want to write faster, more powerful, space-saving programs or subroutines, then this book is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven with no previous understanding of computer languages, the easy-to-understand 'no jargon' format of this book will enable you to discover the power of the Commodore 16's own language.
