Commodore's last commercial 8-bit machine, which was able to run in three
different modes: C128 mode, C64 mode and CP/M mode.
This second version of 128D was housed in a metal case and was released in both
Europe and USA, complying with the FCC regulations for RF emissions. It featured
an optimized motherboard with a new VDC chip with more video RAM, and some bugfixes.
The carrying handle and internal fan were also removed in this so called "cost reduced" version, hence the inofficial DCR suffix.
