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
