 |  Collecting hardware pictures
Probably nobody noticed my current care about the Hardware section.
Ok, I make a plea: if you've got missing, secret or mysterious hardware beside your +4, please take a picture and send it to me (with regarding data, if possible). Whereas monitors and drives data are everywhere on the net (and they scares me because they seem to be challenging to include), obscure +4 dedicated stuff would be quite interesting to add in.
Send your pictures, now!

BAH!! You have a 1581 aqnd 1571 don't you? 
And the download cable is actually from Solder's OS96 PC server. He just sent me one so I used that for my uploader.

Do you have a Trojan Lightpen? Csio sent me the one you can see atm in the hardware page, that's interesting because it seems to be homemade, he's currently searching for a software which can make it works.

Luca,
Not hardware as such but very cool.
Link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Commodore-C-16-fridge-magnet-C16-refrigerator-magnet_W0QQitemZ130145330788QQihZ003QQ
Also there was an official C16/Plus4 joystick released that fitted in the plam of your hands. It had a small red stick on the top. The whole thing was black plastic with a black and red lined sticker on the top of it. The fire button (red) was on the side, you would use your index finger to press fire. I can't remember the name of it but this joystick had the correct plug, was made for use with C16/Plus4.

Luca.... I have a musical keyboard for the Plus/4 that attaches to the userport. However I have no software for it, so I've never bothered to test it.
It's a Waveform Colortone Pro. The only other reference I have found for it so far was one other person who also had no software for it.

Luca: the musical keyboard did not come with software, sadly.... but it did come with a receipt stating "Beta Test".
I've had it for a while now, and had hoped to find some software in an online depository somewhere that would work with it. If I had, this keyboard would have made a nice display piece for cbm264.com! But as it sits right now, all I know is that it uses the Commodore User Port interface to go to a MIDI cable, which then plugs into the back of the keyboard. It might be powered by the computer, as I don't recall seeing a seperate power supply in the box for this.

okay Luca, just keep alive...you sure know that in plus4 the lightpen's irqchecking is running only on 1bit, so you need to be very-old-shutterhand when you want to draw something, so i remember when it's starting then in somehow of line of cursor will running 2 piece of cursor to left and right - searching the pen- .... so it is very hard to do something too with this penna, so i advise you that don't use this just show it to other plus4 guys who haven't that and tell him so ONLY you have that!

The 1541C is not listed, yet Unfortunately, I don't own one so I can't take a pic.
Solder's expansion port splitter can be seen on some of the SceneCon2007 photos.

Expansion port splitter is in, but we're taking a decision about "various" and "cartridges" hardware types.

That's behind the electronic wall:

A C16/+4 Diangnostic-Tool-Set !
At that time, as Commodore Germany went bust, all company inventory was sold in a kind of street sales/flea market...
Besides, also this Diangnostic-Tool-Set, which the employees of Commodore have been founded apparently themselves.
