Images are not of the actual items
A Commodore SX-64 Portable Computer System
This is a complete Commodore 64 system in a compact 25sh pound rugged case. The SX-64 combines the Commodore 64 computer, 1541 5.25“ disk drive, and a 5” COLOR monitor into one sleek-looking case with detachable keyboard. Besides being one of the most sold computers in history, the SX-64 also has the distinction on being the first color portable computer. Originally SX-64s sold for about $1,000, they are still highly prized by Commodore enthusiasts for being so compact.
A Commodore 1581 800K Floppy Drive
The Commodore 1581 disk drive provides a whopping 880K of disk space on a DD 3.5“ diskette. Besides the extra capacity for files, the 1581 is also well-supported by GEOS and Wheels GUI OSs, which increases the usability of those programs.
With the proper software, the Commodore 1581 disk drive can also be used to read from and write to IBM DOS formatted 720K disks.
Turbo 232 High Speed RS-232 Adapter
The Turbo232 cartridge is a high-speed RS-232c modem interface which allows you to connect standard external modems to your Commodore 64 or 128 computer.
When used with appropriate terminal software, this cartridge allows you to connect to communications networks at speeds up to 230,400 bps (230Kbps). The interface plugs easily into the cartridge port of any Commodore 64 or 128 computer, and provides an industry standard DB-9 port for attaching external modems.
A PAL Commodore 64
This is a Commodore 64 from West Germany with its original box and power supply. It outputs PAL video, and if it is used on a NTSC North American screen, the user would see a black-and-white image. To see it in full color, a NTSC/PAL switchable monitor is recommended. A North American power supply can replace the European power supply.
