Hi,
I have a basic question, how many turbo types are there for the C64? And if there is more than 1, are they compatible with each other?
Regards,

There are several, not all of them are compatible with each other.

Basically there were only two. The first, the oldest, consisted in using the standard speed when resigning from repeating data blocks, it gave about 2 times the acceleration, and the second one, consisting in shortening the length of the 0 and 1 bit writing plus no repetitions.
The problem in this case was that these lengths could be somehow arbitrary, hence many variants incompatible with each other.
