Autopsy:
Today i picked up a Commodore 64c Family Pack Edition with Powersupply / Datasette & Joystick in good working condition. The plastics of the Commodore 64c and Datasette are little yellowed but does not affect the right use.
These are some Sid examples which i have recorded from a Commodore 64 with the SwinSID installed. You can Download the original Sid track in .sid file format and the SwinSID in .ogg file format (High Quality), so you can compare the musics.
- The Alibi by Thomas E. Petersen (Laxity) 1989 Maniacs of Noise- SID (6581)
- The Alibi by Thomas E. Petersen (Laxity) 1989 Maniacs of Noise- SWINSID
- Albino Human by Alexander Rotzsch (Fanta) 2006 Fanta – SID (8580)

Some Sid tracks play perfectly others need some emulation fixes.
Saimo (Simone Bevilacqua) has updated his game Quod Init Exit, which is Latin for “whatever gets in, gets out”.
In the game you are a little pig, and you need to eat all the food you can find. The game has excellent HIRES graphics and is fun to play.
Changelog:
- Fixed the flicker of some pixels, which was visible only on real machines and accurate emulators.
- Added level part to score shown in in-game screen (courtesy of Endurion’s feedback Wink)
- Compressed the program for faster loading.
- Made various other minor changes.

Micro SwinSID KIT by Peter Sieg:
Certainly you can’t expect perfect emulation, but we are very close, the audio is much more clean than the original SID chip, if the project continues on this road we will arrive very soon on the perfect emulation.
Micro SwinSID (SwinSID88) is a hardware replacement for legendary SID sound chip which was placed in every Commodore C64 computer.
This project is based on the microcontroller ATMEGA88PU from Atmel and the emulation code is written by Swinkels. The first version of the pcb (prototype) was made by Crisp.

Commodore yellowed spare parts:
- 1 x Commodore 64C (Motherboard ASSY 250407)
- 1 x Commodore 1541 II (Floppy Drive Chinon)
- 1 x Commodore Mouse 1351.
This is a rare SIO Adapter cable. You can use it for connect the Atari 1010 Program Recorder on Commodore 64/128.
A new update of the NUFLI Editor is out.
With this editor (PAL/NTSC) you can edit NUFLI (static) image directly with your Commodore 64.

This is a Joystick port Switcher for Commodore 64.
It switches the digital signals from the joystick and the analogue signals for the mouse or paddles. The Green LED is turned on when the ports are being swapped.
The Joystick port Switcher remembers the last swap state when turned off and will resume that mode when the Commodore 64 is next turned on.
Provides ESD protection for the Commodore 64 CIA’s as there is no direct connection from the Commodore 64 ports to the joystick inputs.

On the left you can see the tiny PCB of the Micro SwinSID made by a user of the forum64.de.
*This PCB is compatible with Commodore 64 and 64C but you need to Remove the resistor R3 if you install the Micro SwinSID on Commodore 64/SX64 where the SID 6581 is used.

Micro SwinSID (SwinSID88) is a hardware replacement for legendary SID sound chip which was placed in every Commodore C64 computer.
This hardware extension is designed as a module installed directly into the SID socket. It emulates the sound of the SID chip, but it is a lot more powerful and allows you experience the new dimension of C64 music.
The hardware desing of SID and Micro SwinSID (SwinSID88) modules is different in almost every way. Micro SwinSID (SwinSID88) is equipped with general purpose microprocessor (ATMega88PA or PU) with internal RAM and ROM.
A programmable device like this has a big advantage – there is a possibility to upgrade firmware and to add new features or fixes without any hardware modification.

The Commodore 6499 is a modem made by Celint for Commodore in Italy. It was able to connect the Commodore 64 with Sip Videotel. Sip Videotel (now Telecom Italia) was unique telephone company in Italy that provided a sort of BBS with teletext.
The modem could transmit at 300/300 baud on BBSs, and 1200/75 baud on Videotel/Minitel.
Free Spirit’s “1541/71 Alignment System” reports the alignment condition of the disk drive as you perform adjustments.
On screen help is available while the program is running. Includes features for speed adjustment and stop adjustment. Complete instruction manual on aligning both the 1541 and 1571 drives. Even includes instructions on how to load alignment program when nothing else will load! Works on the C64, C64C, SX64, C128, C128D in either 64 or 128 mode, 1541, 1571 in either 1541 or 1571 mode! Autoboots to all modes. Second drive fully supported.
