Making the PCB is easy (but probably expensive). I don't know if anyone makes

I agree with you that the repro PCBs are mostly pointless; there
are plenty of originals out there, plus C64 Reloaded and
Ultimate64, which I think both have some good advantages. If
you’re going to ditch the original hardware, seems like you ought
to get some modern features for it.

No. The part number isn’t new information, and knowing it doesn’t

Hello,
Where would one order replacement belts for the TPDD from and
backup batteries? I see them listed on the club100 site at a
cost of $7.00. The 3.6v backup battery is also listed.

I agree with Brian’s points on this. The specific issue isn’t the
