Combines the Commodore 128's separate 40-column analog and 80-column RGBI outputs into a switch-selectable SCART connection.

Retro-Updates marked revision 5.1 sold out and soon available again on 2026-07-30. The official project page still describes direct email ordering at an older EUR 22 price, but its order news is from 2021; confirm current production, price, revision, case choice, and shipping before paying. This adapter does not scan-convert the original video timing. A SCART display must accept the signals directly, or a separate SCART-to-HDMI converter is required and may produce variable results.

Combines a Commodore 128's 40-column and 80-column video paths in one switchable external adapter.

Pyrofer's Projects lists the NTSC board and its separate C128DCR mounting tab as out of stock. The normal package uses tabs for the flat C128 and standard C128D; the differently spaced C128DCR requires the separate tab. Although the board has a PAL/NTSC selection, the seller says changing format also requires a different oscillator IC, and the listed package includes the NTSC oscillator.

Current switched cable variants for using the C128's 40-column analog video and 80-column RGBI output with one display setup.

Both Tindie pages exposed current prices and ordering controls on 2026-07-30; the premium version explicitly reported three units left. Shipping depends on the selected destination, and no rate was shown during extraction. The seller documents a shielded cable, an onboard micro PCB, and an operating LED. No scan conversion is documented, so confirm that the intended display accepts the cable's original-timing composite, S-Video, and SCART RGB signals.
