There's a very large expansion unit plugged into the cartridge port. I've seen that in a couple of VIC-1001 photos. Anyone have any details on what it is?

i think it is the vic-1010 expansion module.

6 slots and a power supply to the right, AFAIK

That is strange looking... Also looks to be about the same form factor as the VIC's breadbox.

Looks like someone is researching and planning his hunt attack while in Japan I see

I spent weeks searching in Japan. It was like a murder mystery. I collected a bunch of clues and closed in on the suspect. But eventually, it evaded me. I still have a few good hunches on where to pick up the trail. One day, I WILL own one of those machines!

It seems to me like the japanese see the vic as an after-thought. Much like North Americans see the Tomy Tutor as nothing special. I suspect many japanese VICs found their way to the trash.

You are indeed correct, it is a VIC-1010.

OH MY GOSH!!!

MORE IMPORTANT than the fact that the above photo shows a VIC-1010 is the fact that it seems to show an OFFICIAL COMMODORE VIC-20 monitor! This is the very FIRST and ONLY confirmation I have ever seen of this piece of hardware in all my years of being involved in VIC-20 history research. It even looks like it has a VIC-XXXX code on it (but is too small to read - possibly VIC-1510).

Does anyone know of a better resolution picture? Was this ever actually marketed?

Great eye! I hadn't even noticed that! Yes, we need better resolution.

Looks like VIC1510 to me.
Was there a different version of the 1541 for the VIC too??

The 1540?

Very good

I've just realised I've got a complete Vic-1010 sitting waiting for me to collect next month at a mate's place. I traded it off him months ago but as I'd visited by train, couldn't lug it back home.
