Just got a new-in-box Koala touch pad for a C64 - anyone ever use one on a
128D ? I have a 64, 64C, 128 and 128D but I am going to thin the collection
out to tjust the 128D and hopefully I can use this with it and not have to
hang onto the 64 to keep using the pad.

I would think it'd work fine. Nearly all the C64 carts I've
tried with the 128D have worked. The main exception is the CP/M
cart. But if you're on a C128, who needs it anyway. I've used the
Koala on my Atari 8bits but have never had the Commodore version.

Thanks to all that answered. Cp/m mode isn't important on the Koala anyway.

The KoalaPainter cartridge for the C64 works just fine on the C128. Jeff is
right -- with the exception of the CP/M cartridge, which doesn't work at
all,
and the Magic Voice, which requires you to hold down the C= key on bootup
to properly initialise the MMU to 64 mode, all 64 cartridges work fine on
its bigger brother.
There is also a disk version, and then another disk version for the Koala
light pen.

WOW! A koala pad. I remember getting one of those for my son when he was 3.
He just turned 20. Where the hell did the time go.....

I know, I remember getting a new C64 when mine was 2 or 3 and he turns 22
this August. Never had one of the Koala pads though.
