text: It might be worth mentioning that there''s also a multiplatform emulator available at https://github.com/asig/kosmos-cp1/, containing a fully commented disassembly of the ROM (https://github.com/asig/kosmos-cp1/blob/master/cp1.asm)

"Little is known about this german training kit..." may have been true when the article was written, but by now, quite a bit of information has surfaced:\
\- There are some excellent pictures, including all the expansions, at http://www.8bit-homecomputermuseum.at/computer/kosmos_computer_praxis_cp1.html (as TOM already pointed out)\
\- The full set of manuals (including all expansions, in German) is available at https://www.retrozone.ch/cp1/\
\- Michael Mustun provided a ROM disassembly at https://www.flagsoft.com/cmswp/de/software/kosmos-cp-1-computer-praxis/
Best regards,\
Michael

My experience is similar - actually, I got more into the hardware side. Actually, I built a cassette interface of my own, since the original one was too expensive for me at that time. Along with a little 'modding' of the CP-1. And it still works, like the whole machine. Anyone interested in the schematics of my home-built cassette interface, might contact me at: stargar at gmx dot de.\
Did anyone do further modding, acceleration, enhancements/improvements to the code, or manage to get anything useful attached to the system bus, besides the RAM extension?\
I have not yet given up the idea of cloning the whole machine to a nifty little box and have it control something in the house.\
I also wrote an enhanced version of the 'Towers of Hanoi' robot control program, which is capable of moving a tower of maximum 11 slices (with the RAM extension only), if someone might be interested. (Heck, I could make it into a \*.wav file, probably an \*.mp3 to get it loaded... don't know actually if the file is compatible with the original cassette interface.)

The Kosmos CP-1 was my first, own computer. I got it when I was 8 years of age and I really loved it, bought any extension modules and connected them to my electronic kits.
Today - more than 20 years later - I earn lots of money with IT development and -consulting. I can say, that learning that simple machine-code on the CP-1 was exactly the right way for me to get into computing. It actually changed my life. Of course, the CP-1's still got its place in the cupboard.
I wish, there were similar learning computers today. It would help a lot.
