C64 Multi Cart Selector

Written by Link on 10th June, 2008

Now, I know absolutely nothing about the Commodore 64. So obviously I don’t know much about this item.

All I know is that HESWARE was once a hardware and software developer who at one point in time was the largest producer of software for the Commodore 64.

This item looks to be a multi cart selector that was either used in house or in a display kiosk. Most like the former in my mind, given the overall design/functionality of the item. Nicola is wondering if it might have been an experiment for a home release, as he thinks it’s odd they went though the trouble of branding it with their logo. It might just be a cheap sticker stuck there or something however.

Whatever it is, it looks like an interesting item if you’re into these type of items, or the C64 in general.

If you have any more info, or ideas, please comment to share it with us.

EDIT
This is most likely a Vic-20 Multiplexer, a much more common and less exciting item.

Isn’t this the relatively common VIC-20 multiplexor? I’ve seen many of those around, I think I have one in box. I don’t believe I’ve seen a C64 multiplexor, which would be rare, but barely on the level of the goods you usually showcase on the site.

I honestly have no idea. I’m not that familiar with old hardware like this, but Nicola (who is) had never seen / heard of one.

With what you said though, I think it is a Vic-20 Multiplexor.
