E: Another Commodore 128 and a disk drive 1571. Also on the picture are 2 joysticks. They are absolut similar, but one is labeled with "Spectravideo", the other one with the better known name "Quick Shot". But both have the same model number and have the name "Spectravideo" under the housing. I already own some Commodore 128 units, but I saw this one with a good price in an online auction and bought it.

D: Ein weiterer Commodore 128 mit einem 1571 Laufwerk, welches die Disketten dank 2 Lese/Schreibköpfen beidseitig lesen kann, ohne dass man die Diskette wenden muss. Auch sind 2 Joysticks zu sehen. Beide sind absolut gleich gebaut, der eine ist aber mit "Spctravideo" beschriftet, der andere unter dem besser bekannten Namen "Quickshot". Es tragen aber beide die selbe Modellnummer und die Bezeichnung "Spectravideo" auf dem Gehäuseboden. Ich habe zwar schon einige C128er, aber diesen fand ich günstig in einer Onlineauktion und kaufte ihn..

After the Commodore 128 etc, Commodore brought out the Commodore Amiga in 1986. First the Amiga models 1000 and 2000, the Amiga 500 (on the picture) came later. But the Amiga was not Commodore's idea, Commodore bought the Amiga Corp. from Atari. The Amiga has very good sound and graphic abilities. The Amiga was a great success (and is still popular today), but sharp tongues argue, that the Commodore 64 follower "Commodore 65" never came out because of the Amiga. If you could travel back in time, would you prefer the Amiga or the Commodore 65 ????

E: On the left site you see the MMC Replay. This module contains the MMC64 and the Retro Replay (see above) in one module. It is also possible to flash some module-images from old freezer and fastload modules to the MMC Replay and use them. So with the MMC Replay you can start programs (only single files from a D64 image) from SD card and use the module as a freezermodule (f.e. as a Action Replay or similar). You can also use the module as a sid player, text reader and much more. Read my big test report of the MMC Replay in german language on the Retrozentrale. See THIS LINK.

On the right site you see the 1541Ultimate a absolut powerful and great module. It emulates a real 1541 drive, so you can load programs from the SD card, also programs, games and demos that persist of more than one file or that use special loading routines. The module includes also the images from the Final Cartridge 3, Action Replay and more freezer modules. There are 2 versions of this module: One with and one without network adapter to connect your C64 to a network or to the Internet. This module really deserves the name "Ultimate". Read my big test report of the 1541U in german language on the Retrozentrale. See THIS LINK

E: After SD card modules and the Ultimate that emulates a 1541 here is another highlight. The 1541-III is an idea from Jan Derogee and also some type of SD card reader module for the Commodore 64. It has a very nice housing and you control all functions over the built in display (that was taken from a mobile phone). With the actual module-firmware that I have, it's only possible to load single files. Multifile games or games with special loading routines don't work. Read my test report of the 1541-III in german language on the Retrozentrale and watch a video where you will see the 1541-III in action. Follow THIS LINK

E: The Epyx fastload cartridge. This was one of the first fastload modules for the Commodore 64 and was brought out from Epyx (Manufacturer of Summer Games, Winter Games, Impossible Mission etc.). After turning on the Computer, you only see the simple word "Fastload" under the start-up screen, but with the correct commands, you can access different powerful menus for disk copying, a powerful monitor etc. The fastload speed is fast, but not so fast like an Action Cartridge of Datel. Only a reset button and a freezer are missing. On the right you see a Final Cartridge 3 in a blue housing. (I don't know if this is normal, and much of Final Cartridges with blue housings are existing?!)

D: Das Epyx Fastload Modul. Dies war eines der ersten Fastload Module für den Commodore 64 und wurde von Epyx herausgebracht. (Bekannt durch Sommergames, Wintergames, Impossible Mission und viele Spiele mehr.) Nach dem Einschalten des Computers sieht man nur ganz simpel das Wort "Fastload" unter der Einschaltmeldung, mit den richtigen Kommandos erreicht man verschiedenste funktionsstarke Menüs mit Diskfunktionen (kopieren usw) oder auch einen guten Maschinensprache-Monitor. Die Schnellladegeschwindigkeit ist gut, aber nicht so schnell wie die eines Action Cartridges von Datel. Nur ein Resetknopf und ein Freezer fehlen. Rechts daneben liegt ein Final Cartridge 3 in einem blauen Gehäuse. (Ich weiss nicht ob das normal ist und viele solcher Module in blauen Gehäusen herausgebracht wurden?!)

A lot of miscellaneous modules for the Commodore 64/128. They all are for the expansion port and ready to use after powering on the Computer. (plug and play) On the picture are some freezer/fastloader modules, Basic extensions and games.
