The Vintage Computer Festival West has their own video of this presentation, but here is my video of the same presentation. Johan Grip tells of restoring the Commodore 128 with the new C128 Neo motherboard. See it at

I'm still hopeful of a VDC-II.

There's no such thing. It's just something I hope happens once this guy manages to make a reproduction version of the 8563/8568.

My wishlist is sprites and perhaps a mixed mode of bitmap and text graphics.
Sprites would be awesome though.

Seems adding extra registers and internal logic would be necessary. The VDC seems to act like a co-processor in the 128.

@Lou

VIC IIe with working 2MHZ mode would be a lot better for C=128 users.

The Kawari may already do that.

Besides, having a more capable 2nd gpu can only enhance dual-screen mode. :)
