Commodore Disk User, also referred to as CDU, was a magazine for the Commodore range of computers, including the Commodore 64, Commodore 128 and Commodore Plus/4. Each issue had a cover-mounted disk containing software.

History

Cover mounted disk

It was published in the UK by Argus Specialist Publications [2] which also published the Your Commodore. It was aimed at Commodore users who had a 1541 disk drive and did not want to have to type in program listings. [3] It also meant that larger programs could be included with the magazine. Initially, an issue of the magazine was published every two months but after two years, it became monthly. [3]

The magazine survived until the end of 1991. The last issue (number 36) was cover dated October 1991. [3] Copies were scanned into Archive.org in 2011. [3]
