Mini X-Pander+ by Arkanix Labs
for Commodore C64/C64C/128/128D/SX64 -
Mini X-Pander+ by Arkanix Labs for Commodore C64/C64C/128/128D/SX64

The Mini X-Pander+ was created to help you use your speciality carts like 64NIC+, FB-Net, RR-Net, and others on Commodore 128/128D models. 

The Mini X-Pander+ has two main functions:  Two expansion slots; first one vertical and second one horizontal out the back of the Mini X-Pander board. This helps preserve the expansion port in your Commodore due to repeated connecting and disconnecting of cartridges. Plus the ability to use your two plugged in cartridges together if they use different memory addresses like $DE00, $DF00, etc. (there is NO switch so to use two cartridges they must use different locations.) The ability to run cartridges that have been known not to be working on a Commodore 128/128D in 64 mode. For example the 64NIC+ and FB-net network cartridges have never really worked on the Commodore 128/128D due to the line noise on the expansion port bus. The Mini X-Pander cleans these lines and allows for flawless usage of the affected cartridges. 

The Mini X-Pander+ also includes a reset switch to save the wear and tear on your Commodore computer from turning the power on/off repeatedly. 

The Mini X-Pander+ works with the Commodore C64/C64C/128/128D/SX64 We've tested the Mini X-Pander+ with the following cartridges: 64NIC+ (working), FB-Net (working), RR-Net (working), The Final Ethernet (aka TFE) (needs testing), MMC64 (working),IDE64 (needs testing), EasyFlash v1 (working), EasyFlash v3 (working). Network compatible Software: Contiki (webserver, IRC) (working), WarpCopy 64 v0.6 (transfers D64 images) (working), ChateRR-Box (Chat) (working), GuruTerm Beta1 (Terminal client), NetRacer v1.1 (needs testing), Artillery Duel Network (needs testing). 

If you're having issues or need some help, we're providing support on the Mini X-Pander forum.

There's no switch, so you cannot switch cartridges on and off and therefore cannot run two cartridges at the same time which use the same memory locations.

To use cynthCART & The Datel Midi Interface you will need the Mini X-Pander+.

    You can get an alternative solution - Kerberos MIDI & file transfer interface or use it with Mssiah. But screen need for portable use. I installed small car TV screen and get voltage from board)

Run Google Maps on your Commodore - It gives you full access to the internet on your Commodore, with all the possible applications you can imagine. From simple applications such as synchronising the time, loading data and programs from web servers or from PHP scripts to complex chat and messaging systems, Google Maps, online games and lots more.  Comprising a dedicated host board with reset, a pre programmed ESP32, and an LCD display with the device IP and connection status.
