The newly produced Commodore 64 Reloaded motherboards use a barrel connector for powering the system. The problem is that this modern type of connector does not fill the hole of the original Commodore 64C case. I have previously described a 3D printed solution called a ‘Commodore 64 Reloaded Mainboard Power Plate’ … Read more
The EasyFlash is a cartridge for the Commodore 64 expansion port and it can be programmed directly from the machine (link). It has an 1 MB Flash memory to which data can be ‘burned’ onto using the C64 as no EPROM programmer is needed. This gives … Read more
I recently posted images of the different Commodore 64 power supplies (PSU) that I have in my collection. I thought they pretty much represented all the European versions out there and that the so-called ‘repairable PSU’ version was something that was mostly released in the US. So I … Read more

Scrolling through a local second hand site, I came across a guy who had made his own version of the SD2IEC device. The SD2IEC is a mass storage solution which uses a SD card for data storage (i.e. games and programs) and interfaces with the IEC bus. It does … Read more
I have noticed that the different versions of the Commodore 64C’s have various power LED colors. I do not know if Commodore was consistent with the LED colors of the different board revisions of the Commodore 64C’s, but these are the colors that the power … Read more
…well almost… The machine still needs some new colored keycaps (hurry up Phase5!!!), a domed sticker at the bottom and a cold reset button using an Arduino Pro Mini. But I gotta have some modding goals for 2016, right? This machine has been build from … Read more
Going through my ‘stockpile’ of Commodore 64 bits and pieces, I realized that several 3D printed add-ons have found their way into my precious Commodore 64s. I therefore decided to grab the 3D prints that I have, shoot some photos and describe why 3D prints for the … Read more
