They’ve stripped off most of the external ports that would present challenges in that regard, but I wonder if the 1541 emulation on the SD will tolerate all of the various loader acceleration kung fu at this price and just with emulation.

Given the recent Coleco fiasco, I know many are not optimistic about 
this project.  When I saw the project, specs had not been noted.  IF it 
is indeed an ARM-based unit, I think many will question the utility of a 
design that can probably be replicated with a RPI3, a KeyRah, and a 
gutted C64 case.
