| Build itChecked Jul 27, 2026 | 1088XELby MyTek | Recreates an Atari 8-bit computer on a Mini-ITX motherboard with integrated memory, input, mouse, and video upgrades. The maker publishes schematics, a BOM, production Gerbers, firmware, and PCB source files. The page points to The Brewing Academy for boards and systems, but current assembled stock was not checked in this pass. |

| Build itChecked Jul 27, 2026 | A2USBby ThorstenBr | Repurposes supported Raspberry Pi Pico Apple II video cards as a USB HID mouse interface. A complete setup needs a supported A2VGA Revision 1.6 or modified older A2VGA or A2analog card, a Micro-USB-to-USB-A adapter, and a driverless USB HID mouse. USB hubs are not supported. Installing A2USB removes the card's VGA function until different firmware is loaded. Remove the Pico or card from the Apple II before using BOOTSEL to update firmware, and choose the PAL or NTSC build with the appropriate 50 or 60 Hz interrupt default. Sources |

| AvailableChecked Jul 25, 2026 | Atarimax/ABBUC USB Cartridgeby ABBUC e.V. and Atarimax | Adds a two-port USB host interface for supported keyboards, controllers, mice, and other driver-backed devices. Atarimax marked the cartridge in stock and ready for shipment on 2026-07-25, although the same page called the current price a preorder promotion through 2026-07-31. This is not a generic plug-and-play USB port: support depends on Atari-side drivers. Atarimax still describes the software as early beta, and the MicroUSB project's substantive status notes are historical, so check the device matrix and exact driver before buying hardware for a particular peripheral. |

| AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026 | BISON FPGA DivMMC TurboSound 2xAYby Lotharek | Combines DivMMC-compatible microSD storage, 512 KB of expansion RAM, dual-AY audio, DAC modes, and configurable joystick or mouse input on the ZX expansion bus. The seller exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27 and documented firmware 1.5. Power off before changing the edge connection or input mode. Automatic Sinclair-versus-Amstrad selection depends on 9 V at edge pin 3B; compatible clones without that signal need the documented modification. Firmware updates require a separate Gowin programmer and removal of the flash ROM. Prepare a separate FAT32 microSD card with the supported ESXDOS release. |

| Find usedChecked Jul 30, 2026 | C8D Joystick Switcherby Ross (vimfuego) / C8D | Swaps a Commodore computer's two control ports while preserving both digital joystick and analog mouse or paddle signals. The surviving AmiBay production runs are closed sales archives. COREi64's former product route is currently replaced by a store-wide notice saying the shop will return in Fall 2026, so no current C8D order path is verified. The original C8D maker site also failed Tavily extraction twice after the required retry and is recorded as WF-050. |

| Build itChecked Jul 25, 2026 | Commodore User-Port USB Interfaceby Andre Fachat | Adds experimental USB host and device hardware through Commodore user and cassette ports. Revision 1.0A is marked okay but was tested only on a PET. Revision 1.1A adds separately regulated, switchable USB host power but is explicitly untested. The interface uses both the user port and cassette port; PET ROM interrupt handling can switch cassette-motor-controlled USB power off unless software works around it. usb65 describes preliminary keyboard mapping, limited features, broken MAX3421 hub enumeration, and only partly working device mode. USB mass storage and networking are future plans, not supported features. |

| AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026 | DivMMC-USBby Lotharek | Combines DivMMC microSD storage, USB HID input, four ROM slots, snapshot storage, dual-AY audio, and DAC modes in one ZX expansion interface. The seller exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27. Its published testing covers the original 48K, original 128K, Pentagon, and KRAKEN. The page says +2A and +2B compatibility still has known issues and that keyboard-mapped USB input will not work on +2A or +3 because of data-bus coupling; those models are not attached. Treat the described resistor workaround as experimental, not an installation recommendation. Follow the separate FPGA and USB-controller update procedures exactly. Sources |

| DiscontinuedChecked Jul 28, 2026 | FPGASIDby FPGASID project | FPGA-based pin-compatible 6581 and 8580 replacement with two complete SIDs, six-voice stereo, analog inputs, paddles, and mouse support. Human review confirmed on 2026-07-28 that the advertised KryoFlux store item is gone. The project documentation, firmware, and configuration software remain available, and used units can still be searched for. An interrupted firmware update can require JTAG recovery. |

| AvailableChecked Jul 28, 2026 | KempAY CPLDby Lotharek | Adds AY sound, stereo output, joystick and mouse modes, reset controls, and edge-connector pass-through to ZX Spectrum-compatible expansion buses. The seller exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27. The page describes ZX Spectrum and compatible expansion-port use but does not give an exact computer, power, or later-Amstrad compatibility matrix. Human review supplied no readable model-specific evidence, so the record remains only on the shared expansion-bus page. Confirm the intended machine and power off before changing the edge connection or input hardware. Sources |

| AvailableChecked Jul 28, 2026 | Kempston MAX 2by Lotharek | Adds two configurable Atari-style joystick or mouse ports and a pass-through connector to broadly compatible ZX Spectrum expansion buses. The seller exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27 and spells the listing name Kemspton MAX 2. Power the computer off before connecting or removing the interface, joysticks, or mouse. Original Sinclair joysticks are not supported. Human review supplied no readable exact-model matrix, so the record remains only on the shared expansion-bus page; confirm power rails and later Amstrad-model behavior before purchase. Sources |

| Build itChecked Jul 28, 2026 | MixSIDby Henning Liebenau | Open dual-SID board with mixed 6581 and 8580 support, runtime address selection, channel mixing, paddle compatibility, and stereo output. The complete GPL-2.0 hardware, GAL, Gerber, and build documentation remains available. A Tindie assembled listing reported out of stock since 2020 but says the seller may assemble a unit on demand; treat that as a contact route rather than stocked availability. SID chips are excluded. |

| AvailableChecked Jul 28, 2026 | MSSIAH Cartridgeby MSSIAH | Combines an integrated MIDI interface with five cartridge-resident SID music applications for sequencing, synthesis, drums, and low-fidelity sample playback. The official contact page reported MSSIAH in stock on 2026-07-28, and its online order workflow was live. The cartridge and software are one integrated product: its MIDI hardware cannot be used by other applications, no MIDI OUT is provided, and the ROMs are not sold separately. A monitor is effectively required, and saving needs a compatible drive or separate Savyour. |

| AvailableChecked Jul 24, 2026 | QuokkADB and HIDHopper ADBby Rabbit Hole Computing and Tech by Androda | Connects modern USB HID keyboards and mice to Macintosh computers through Apple Desktop Bus. HIDHopper Base, Base with USB Hub Hat, and Hub Hat-only selections could be added to the JCM cart on 2026-07-24. The assembled QuokkADB Rev. 2022g remained sold out, while its Raspberry Pi Pico Community Edition remained buildable. HIDHopper's Hub Hat requires external USB-C power, must be power-cycled between Macintosh starts, and can otherwise exceed the host's ADB power budget. |

| Sold outChecked Jul 27, 2026 | SIDFXby Lotus Electronics | Adds one or two original SID chips with automatic model detection, selectable mono or stereo addressing, protected power, and a dedicated stereo output. The official site reported the SIDFX bundle sold out on 2026-07-27 and says no more modules will be manufactured after its limited stock is exhausted. The separate C64 Reloaded MK1 and MK2 adapters are accessories for this same family and do not replace the unavailable SIDFX module. |

| Build itChecked Jul 28, 2026 | SIDKick Picoby SIDKick project | DIY RP2040- or RP235x-based replacement for one or two 6581 or 8580 SID chips, with optional FM emulation and paddle or mouse input support. Choose the hardware design and matching firmware together. The official project documents different DAC, PWM, connector, line-output, and host-interface arrangements plus a list of preassembled sellers. Multi-SID or FM modes need the documented address-signal wires. Never power the module from USB and the Commodore computer at the same time. |

| Find usedChecked Jul 28, 2026 | SwinSID Ultimateby CodeKiller / Hermit | Period enhanced SwinSID replacement adds configurable 6581- and 8580-style sound, readable oscillator and envelope registers, analog input, and paddle or mouse support. Production ended in 2018 and no current maker or build path was verified. Buy used only with the original manual and configuration software. The documented 6581-board installation recommends disconnecting the 1K output pull-down, while EXT IN needs the specified termination. This is unrelated to current Commodore 64 Ultimate hardware despite the old product name. |
