@the100thmonkey The VIC-20 had 5K of memory, 4.5K of which was usable by the user. There was nothing “32” about it. Not even text columns, since the screen was 20 characters wide.
The Commodore 64 got the “64” part from the amount of memory it had. While there were a lot of CBM computers that had 32K, like some of the PETs, I can’t find any info on a computer that had the internals of the C64 but with 32K. I know that Atari had some computers in Europe that were slightly different than the US counterparts, and I was wondering if that was the case here but I still can’t find any info on one.
