Development History
As soon as the Commodore 64 was released in 1982, Kawasaki immediately bought one, paying $600 for it at an electronics store on 45th street in Manhattan. Kawasaki was fascinated by the possibilities the system afforded him and in two years he taught himself to program and wrote four programs in machine code using SuperMon (a tool created by Jim Butterfield) that he released commercially on 5ΒΌ-inch floppy for $49.95 each as well as an unpublished 8-track real-time MIDI recorder called Midi-Workstation.
