You don't see really interesting historical stuff like this, presumably genuine, set of prototypes of a Commodore product come up on ebay vey often. Sadly well beyond what my wife would ever let me pay for it, but really interesting

Wow, very interesting! Museum stuff.
EDIT: take a look at his store...

If I had a spare few thousand dollars I could go wild in that lot! Wow, he’s selling some really unusual stuff there.

Interesting that one of the boards says "VC-40".
I wonder if there was meant to be any connection with the proposed "VIC-40". I doubt it but since the VIC-20 was also called the VC-20 in Germany it makes me wonder:

The edge connector of the unpopulated board has a smaller pin pitch, which suggests it is a prototype for the forthcoming C64, its working title being V(I)C-40.

Wasn't the VC prefix used in germany?

Whare VIC was too close to a bad word
