GGLabs provides new goods for your retrocomputing needs. First,
there is the GLink232, a UART cartridge (SwiftLink clone) for the C64
and C128. Let your computer communicate up to 38400 baud. Then
there is the GLink-LT, user port RS-232 (VIC-1011a clone) for
Commodore 8-bit computers, like the VIC-20, C64, and C128. With the
GLink-LT, it is usable up to 2400 baud or can be reconfigured for up
to 9600 baud.
Pricing is
GLink232 - $45 assembled, $35 kit (check availability)
GLink-LT - $35 assembled, $25 kit
For more information, pictures, and contact details, go to

I don't know that I ever saw a note about Daniel Mackey's RS232
adapters, which are here:
http://www.n2dvm.com/blog/2015.html
I am not sure if he has a store, but he sells them for about the same
price. So, a couple of options exist.
Full disclosure: I designed the original PCBs under GPL, but it looks
like Daniel has made some tweaks and additions. It also looks like GG
added my decoder to their design.
DO a lot of folks still need an RS232 cart? Is a Turbo232 needed?
Jim

Yup, I sell the Link232 Swiftlink Clone as well as the ez232.
The Link232 NOW has TX/RX LED's on it. They come completely assembled
and tested.

A Turbo232 would be a welcome addition!

Give me more information, Dan, so I can post an addendum to the
original message. I'll need pricing on both, any webpages (other
than what was previously mentioned), and your contact details for
your products.
