The design was basically the same as the VIC-20 design: Black keys and orange function keys (from F1-F8), and it was said that a few computers have the more angular keys of its predecessor. Earlier models even had some differences, such as the 5-pin video out.

The Commodore 1551 (originally introduced as the SFS 481) was a floppy disk drive for the Commodore Plus/4 home computer. It resembled a charcoal-colored Commodore 1541 and plugged into the cartridge port, providing faster access than the C64/1541 combination.
Commodore reportedly planned an interface to allow use of the 1551 with the C64, but it was never released.

Note: Motherboard is the same of Commodore VIC-1540 (Rev A/B PCB 1540007 (C) 1981 made in Japan) with a old HIGH Rom MOS “901229-01″ instead of “325303-01″.
Description: The Commodore 1541 (aka CBM 1541, and originally called VIC-1541), made by Commodore International, was the best-known floppy disk drive for the Commodore 64 home computer. The 1541 was a single-sided 170 kilobyte drive for 5¼” disks. The 1541 followed the previous Commodore 1540 (meant for the VIC-20).

Description:
The Commodore 1571 was Commodore’s high-end 5¼“ floppy disk drive. With its double-sided drive mechanism, it had the ability to utilize double-sided, double-density (DS/DD) floppy disks natively. This was in contrast to its predecessors, the 1541 and 1570, which could read or write such disks only if the user manually flipped them over to access the second side. (from Wikipedia)

Externally, the C64 Aldi had same case colour as a standard C64 but the keyboard was light grey, like the future C64G and C64C.
Internally, the motherboard was redesigned to minimize production costs, most of the TTL chips were removed, replaced with a new MMU chipset. First releases of this board had some compatibility problems with C=64 peripherals – they lacked the 9V user port voltage, but this limitation was repaired in the next revisions.
Although made in USA, the Aldi was sold only in Germany as a game machine through only one distribution channel, a supermarket chain called… Aldi, hence his name, given by the German 64′er magazine.
In 1989, the C=64 Aldi would be replaced by the grey C=64G which would use the same motherboard.

La paddle è una periferica per videogiochi, formata da una manopola che controlla in modo continuo una posizione lungo un asse, e da uno o più pulsanti.
Già le prime console e i primi personal computer potevano essere accessoriati con le paddle oltre che con i joystick e alcuni videogiochi erano fatti appositamente per essere giocati con le paddle.
Diversi videogiochi storici degli anni settanta sono controllati con la paddle, e il primo ad usarle fu proprio il celebre PONG. Il nome paddle, che significa letteralmente “pagaia”, deriva appunto da PONG, che è ispirato al tennis tavolo le cui racchette in inglese sono comunemente chiamate paddle. La periferica finì per prendere il nome di ciò che muoveva sullo schermo.

Questo mio progetto vi dara’ la possibilita’ di Switchare due SID (6581 / 8580). Alcuni brani musicali (SID tunes) sono stati scritti per il SID 6581 e non suonano correttamente sul SID 8580 e viceversa, con questo semplice progetto potrete switchare il SID a piacimento. Questo non e’ un clone del SId2Sid Clone. Questo e’ un SId Switcher ;-D
