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.

No, your eyes are deceiving you.
Commodore (as in Commdore Vic 20,C-64, Amiga) is bringing a Netbook to market. The UMMD 8010/F Netbook was shown off at IDF in Berlin.
The specs sound familar to those following the scene
- 10 inch screen
- Webcamera
- 1.6Ghz C7–M CPU
- 80GB HD
- 1GB of RAM
- WiFi
- Bluetooth optional
The price is a bit on the high side for NetBooks at around $600. Maybe they are counting on a wave of nostalgia buying.
Thanks to Leo Sexad for the news.
