Being from the USA, I'm not particularly familiar with the 64C version, which was less common here. Is it possible to use the internals of a standard, beige 'breadbin' 64 to fully populate one of these new 'C' cases? Will the keyboards & motherboards simply drop-in? Do they use the same DIN-type power connectors? On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 11:41 AM, Al Kossow <aek at bitsavers.org> wrote:

Newer c64cs have the KB connector on the middle right of the mobo (the e boards, or some such, too lazy to google the exact part no.). Anyway, if you want the c64c KB and a std c64 mobo, you need to find an older c64c kb (I think the ones that do *NOT* have F2/4/6/8 printed on the key top), so the cord will be long enough, or make an extension cable. The power LED cable might also be an issue, but that's not a big deal. * On the c64c, the top of the KB mounts with some little brackets that are not on the breadbin case. You'll liekly need those. * The c64c uses some funky screw head. Pitch those screws and use phillips :-) I think that is all it took to move the boards.
