What's worse, the remake of one of Commodore's coffin nails or the remake of it for one of the extra rare original keyboard cases? Last edited by OneTimer1 on 06-Jun-2017 at 09:20 PM.

That, my friend, is why we have AW [polls], so people can vote on the important issues of the day. (evil grin)

I remember reading about the mega65 project years ago (here).
Was interesting but mostly in a niche curiosity kind of way. _________________ Test sig (new) |

If Commodore brought it to the market, it would have been Commodore's SAM Coupé. |

| Looks like a fun project.
What will we do with it? Was any C65 software made? Is it C64 or C128 compatible? (and will it suffer like the 128 did, largely being used to run C64 stuff to the detriment of 128-native stuff?) _________________ All glory to the Hypnotoad! |

Some prototypical software, IIRC. Quote:

With its C64 mode, it will be C64-compatible.
