7 pin DIN socket for modding Plus 4 to use C64 PSU

7 pin DIN socket for modding the Plus 4 to use a C64 / VIC20 PSU

As the +4 PSU's power plug is unique to the system and the PSU quite rare, people sometimes mod their Plus 4's PCB to allow a standard C64 PSU to be used instead. This is often a straight swap out of the connector, but some boards need more work doing. Info about that can be found here: https://hackjunk.com/2017/05/29/commodore-plus-4-power-connector-to-c64-version

C16 / Plus4 Joystick Adapter

A short adapter cable with a male 8 pin mini-DIN on one end and a male D-Sub9 connector on the other, allowing standard Atari/C64/Amiga style joysticks to be connected to the C16 / Plus 4
