Source: Commodore Disk User – Volume 1, Number 2 – January 1988
Commodore Disk User (CDU) was published in the U.K. in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It covered primarily the Commodore 64 but also the Plus/4 and Commodore 128. It was unique in that it came with a cover floppy disk and disk drives were not nearly as common in the U.K. as they were in the U.S. at the time. The February 1988 issue includes:
