  1. Yes, this cable was in the lot I bought along with its manual. It is me who added the photo on BrickLink. I also added the 9765 set, but approval times on BrickLink are ridiculously long (could take a year), so don't expect the set to be accepted into the catalog any time soon. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=9765-1#T=S&O={"iconly":0} I also documented the cable here: https://www.dubbekarl.dk/blog/2026/05/14/lego-9765-interface-cable-for-commodore-64-128/ I have been contacted by one very interested buyer who insists very much to buy it. :-)
  2. We had the Piccoline computer in both schools I attended (up to 1990), but we never had any of the LEGO stuff. We only had Comal 80 and a graphical programming language called "Myresnak".
  3. Hello. I'm the guy behind the dubbekarl.dk blog. First of all, thank you for all the kind words about my work. :-) Someone mentioned an old Facebook post in this thread, and I believe that this was the lot I bought a couple of months ago. It was put up for sale in a Danish Facebook group, and no one seemed to be interested. I put in a decent bid and I got it. My childhood was all about LEGO and Commodore 64, and I have done quite a bit of work on archiving old, disappearing C64 material. So when I saw these products and couldn't find much about them on the Internet (I don't think even the Royal Danish Library has them), I just had to get them. I have scanned all content, documented the C64 cable and put it all up on my blog, and a guy in Copenhagen that I previously worked with on archiving offered to do the disk dumps for me. Although some bad blocks were detected on one of the C64 disks, the data should be intact. He's still working on the MS-DOS disk which seems to need a fair amount of cleaning before being readable again. The contents will be put up on my blog as soon as it's available. Let me also elaborate on what exactly is the situation about the people I'm talking to in my efforts to find the remaining products in this series. I am speaking to a guy that says his company worked on electronics products in collaboration with LEGO, not detailing which products exactly. He says he's struggling with memory, so I'm not convinced if we'll ever know the details. He told me that he once had a lot of stuff lying around from that time but that he donated most of it to someone. He promised to look around his remaining stuff and see if there was anything LEGO related that he could lend or give me for archival. Also, I contacted the persons that got the donations because I hope they might actually have some of the things we're looking for. I have not received any response yet. So to be precise: I hope to find more, but the chances may be slim. I will restart the communication with these people late in July or early August when I'm back from vacation. I'm really glad that people appriciate and are able to use the stuff. If you have anywhere to archive copies of this material (please note that the documents may be updated in the future, check the version numbers now and keep the original file names), feel free to do so as long as it's kept free and with some kind of credit (I suggest a link to the original blog posts). I'm not interested in anyone making money off material that I spent countless hours on archiving. Also, it's copyrighted. If you have any comments/feedback on my work, feel free to share them, preferably as comments on my blog as I may not read everything in here in the future. :-) Best wishes /Jan
