Does anyone know where I can find a reference for the following well-known fact:
Let $(X_i)_{i\in I}$ be a family of compact Hausdorff spaces and let $X$ be the disjoint sum of all $X_i$s.
Then
$c_0(I, C(X_i)) = C_0(X)$,
where the left hand side stands for the $c_0$-sum (possibly uncountable) of $C(X_i)$s.
Since the result is quite easy to prove, it is mostly stated as an exercise or as an obvious fact.
For example, Conway, A Course in Functional Analysis, Chapter VII.1, Exercise 9., page 192 states the slightly more general:
