Liebe Forumsmitglieder,
I recently acquired a Commodore PC 10-S (yes, the letter S) and I am currently looking for any information about this "S model". We used to have a Commodore PC 10-II (w/2x360k drives) in the past and this S variant seems to be quite similar.
Can anyone help me to find a meaning of the S marking on the computer case?
PS. Pictures available here: https://pekkaleppaluoto.com/accidental-empires/commodore-pc-10-s/
Danke!
I have never heard of a model S before. Here is another offer of one:

Inside looks like the PC 10-2 it seems.
Got one, too. My guess is that "S" stands for "Single (Drive)".
The reason for my guess is that the "normal" PC 10-II came with two floppy drives from the factory. Might have been a cheaper version with one floppy.
Also got a PC 10-III SD in original condition, and in that case "SD" means single drive. It was shipped with one floppy, whereas the normal PC 10-III came with two FDDs.
Can anyone confirm my "theory"?
Just an update on my own observations about the subject.
As Intex already mentioned, perhaps the "-S" is some localized (German?) variant of the "-1" suffix as the specs of a PC 10-1 (or PC 10-I) match (single drive and RAM exandable on board and slots). Someone has just installed a second drive later on my unit.
