For serial interfaces check out:
http://www.cmdweb.com/cbm
And check out the "Turbo232 High-Speed Modem Interface". With a SuperCPU you
can go to 115200 bps.
also available:
http://come.to/ide64
This is an IDE interface for the C-64, which has a dual port RS-232 interface.
They are also working on a MP3 Player for IDE64!!
