Commodore C128 D

The C128D is a computer system with a separate keyboard, internal power-supply, disk drive (1571) and a motherboard. The C128(D) is the successor of the Commodore C64. The C128(D) computer has two processors, a 8510 and a Z80. The C128 has three different operating modes: C64 mode, C128 mode and CP/M mode.
If you compare the C128(D) with the C64 the C128(D) has a bigger memory, faster processor and better graphical possibilities. But the strong success of the C64 prevented a breakthrough for the C128(D).
