Protected switched-mode replacement supplies for the C64 and round-connector VIC-20CR, with separate adapters for the C128 and Plus/4.

On 2026-07-30, Commodore4ever listed the original ATOM and ATOM v2.5 at USD 59.99 and ATOM RETRO at USD 69.99; all three were sold out. The official Plus/4 adapter was also sold out at USD 24.99. A separate live 90-degree adapter page listed a 64-to-128 option at USD 14.99, but did not expose unambiguous variant stock or identify every supported ATOM revision. The original ATOM page lists separate North American 120 VAC and European 230 VAC configurations, ATOM v2.5 lists only the North American input, and ATOM RETRO says its European version is currently unavailable. Surviving pages provide too little detail to establish exact specifications or final availability for the older PS-64 with LED and PS-64/128. Do not assume that ATOM specifications apply to those predecessor models.

Standalone USB-powered tester for checking DIP-40 Intel 8086 processors outside a computer.

Retro Electronics listed the assembled tester out of stock on 2026-07-25. The 8086 CPU and Mini-USB Type-B power cable are not included.

Converts composite or S-Video from a C64 or C128 to selectable-resolution analog VGA output.

The exact Portta scaler was documented in a 2016 hands-on review, but no current maker product page or stable new-stock source was verified in 2026. The unit includes a short USB-A power cable but no power supply or computer-specific video cable. Results varied by computer: the reviewed flat C128 looked excellent over S-Video, a C64C showed vertical banding and a rainbow border, and a C128DCR produced poor S-Video but good composite output.

Standalone testers for checking vintage nine-pin joysticks and controllers without relying on a working retro computer.

AMI64 listed its encased tester at GBP 15 with a battery included on 2026-07-30. Commodore4ever listed its tester at a USD 9.99 sale price; a Micro-USB Type-B cable is not included. PCBWay retains the 2021 schematic, layout, bill of materials, and PCB ordering route under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. These are related tester variants, not electrically identical revisions. Confirm connector gender, supported controls, and power source for the chosen unit.

Human review found both current variants sold out on 2026-07-24. Neither variant supports the 1200XL, 1400XL, or 1450XLD. Confirm connector, polarity, voltage, and current before powering a computer.
