And coincidentally a game programmer from Sweden made a nice donation for the 2017 CommVEx.

Hi guys, I've got a 128DCR too, and I was wondering how much of a pain it is to get something like this to work. I don't have GEOS 128 though... Curt It is not painful at all. Just plug the chip in the empty socket and you are done. You can download GEOS 2.0 for free here.

At my recent haul of C= stuff from Computer Station (see blog.retro-link.com/2017/01/picking-up-haul-from-computer-station.html ), I picked up three C128DCR's... all of them without the detachable keyboards. After confirming with Ray Carlsen that flat C128 keyboards would work, I'm hoping to have a friend machine (CNC) the keyboard cases. Then all I have to do is scrounge around for flat C128 keyboards to populate the new cases. Ray said that he could build the cables to attach the detachable keyboards to the DCR boxes. Truly, Robert Bernardo Fresno Commodore User Group www.dickestel.com/fcug.htmDid the owner confirm that he does not have any extra spare C128D keyboards in the store?

I am interested in all these options to convert composite and / or RGBI to VGA. But also I would be interested in finding out what is available as a kind of switch selector to the VGA monitor for the two signal coming in.

Nice link. There is more Commodore stuff than the book available there for sale.
