Yow! I saw this on another forum. It's a C128 modernized and redone to fit in a slim-line C64 case. The webpage is at

http://www.the128rm.com/index.php?id=home

snd the German discussion thread is at

http://www.forum64.de/index.php?thread/81460-the128rm-the-128-remastered/&postID=1254330#post1254330

I used translate.google.com in order to translate the first post there --

"Hello everybody,

For some time I have been working on a C128 version, which fits in the C64 case (slim case). I have some modifications built in like: VIC / VDC output switcher, Control port switch, 8 bit color ram, Accepts 6-36VDC input voltage, Dual SID, etc.

Here are some pictures of the project (still in the prototype phase):

EDIT: Pictures uploaded to the forum and inserted! External links removed! war64burnout"

Looks like I'll be using a lot of Google Translate, :)

Tricky machine to reproduce, I'd have thought!

I'll follow this with interest. Hopefully in the end it will be mountable in a C128 case.

@RobertB

I wonder what can be the use of a C128-based mothrboard in a C64 case, which will likely use a C64 keyboard. The C128 has some extra buttons like the Esc and the 40/80 one. Unluckily I have no skill about German, so I wonder how they will deal with extended C128 features.

Nice work. Now all I need is a C16RM.

Stupid project.

I would never squeeze a working C128 into a C64 case.

Instead of this I would prefer a C128 + C1571 in a C128D case, that's clearly what I'm looking for on EBay.
