Naturally I'll have to check my spreadsheet when it's returned to see what's going on, but the Commodore 64 Games System (C64GS) console is listed as "Commodore 64, computer" in the database! Saw that when entering my lists today.
Should be listed as "Commodore 64 Games System", or "Commodore 64GS". There is an entry just listed as "Commodore 64" which should hence be changed into "Commodore 64, computer".

Mat, are you referring to "System, Commodore 64"? (id 6723)? I don't see any title that matches what you're describing above. Let me know and I'll fix it before sending the list back to you.

Yeah... whoops... getting confused there.
"System, Commodore 64 computer" is fine. What is listed as just "System, Commodore 64" should be listed as either "System, Commodore 64 Games System" or "System, Commodore 64GS".

Here's another one for the non game section. I don't have time to post pics now, let me know if you need them and I can post them when I get into town on monday night.
Super Graphix jr. Manufacturer- Xetec
has cords and dip switches on it, it appears to be a graphics utility item.

I'll leave this one to Mat :)

VGC - I'm slowly adding non-game stuff as I go along. Basically stuff that I think is important and people would know about. Not sure about the Xetec graphics thingy though I do see it fairly often on eBay. If you can garnish the relevant information needed, I might be persuaded to put it in :)

Most likely a printer interface. Xetec made those for a ton of systems,
On another note, I thought I'd drop the list of utility carts that I owned that were not listed here. After going through my carts:
Mach 128 by Access Software
Quick Brown Fox by Broadway
Write Now! by Cardco
Turtle Graphics II by HES
3-Slot expansion by Navarone
Mach 128 I don't know where else to put since we don't have a 128 section and the 3 slot expansion is hardware obviously. Let me know if you need more info but I own all this stuff loose so doubt there are numbers on it.

I've actually got most of them myself but haven't yet added them :embarrassed:
The port expanders would go in the hardware section really. I'll probably put in the Turtle Graphics eventually as it's HES. If anyone got info for the Mach 5 (the C64 version) and Cinemaware's fast loader cart, let me know.
I have 2 utility carts that aren't listed:
Action Replay MKIV
Snapshot 64

Got the Snapshot myself, haven't gotten around to adding it yet (sound familiar?). Action Replay just leaving at the mk6 version for now.
Action Replay just leaving at the mk6 version for now.
OK, I kind of figured that with the IV and VI there must be a whole series. :) You mention in the description that there is an NTSC version. How would one tell the difference? The manual for my MKIV has Datel's UK address on the back so I would assume it's PAL (no idea where I got it from though).

In general you can use Action Replay carts fine on NTSC C64s. The only real issue comes when trying to utilise the fast loader; it keyed into PAL timing sequences and generally won't work sadly. Hence you need the NTSC version.
Now I've been told that pretty much Datel stopped the NTSC version at v5, and there may not be an official v6. Only PAL. Looking into it. May correct entry if proven to be true.
As I've never seen an NTSC version of any of them, I can't tell you the way to spot the difference offhand. Though I believe Datel did ship them from within the US so any NTSC may have a US based address.
