If it's legally possible, it would be really nice if this ended up on
archive.org.

Btw are there any scans of the german magazine MC (MicroComputer)? I
have a few physical magazines from around 85 and from around 90.

My impression is that the rest of the world could envy the (west)
germans as both 64er and MC actually had a bunch of DIY hardware
projects which were far more advanced than the typical reset button or
autofire circuit that you could find in most magazines.

Well known is the IEEE 488 conversion of a 1541 that 64er did, but they
also did other stuff like 40k ram expansion for the 1541 with hardware
to via software switch in ram in the rom space, to run/develop different
roms. Also they did an IEEE 488 interface for C64 and C128 which as I
understand works in all three modes of an C128. They used the Intel
8255 which is still easy to find. No hard-to-find 6525 triport or
semi-expensive 6526 or 6522's.

MC seems to not being focused on Commodore, but on computers in
general. They made their own complete small computers, and they also
did some cool and strange hardware like for example an 68008 add-on
board for Apple II.

Also something we can envy the germans for is the NDR computer. The
northern regional public radio-tv made a DIY computer and apparently
televised building instructions.
