Fred said that this particular unit was for checking the fit of the ports and that they were finalizing the regular C65 at the time. It is a prototype and obviously not the final design. Looking closely you can see the remnants of the normal C65's back ports. I'm thinking the normal case was just cut down and ports filled? I'm alway curious how a machine is designed. Do they start with schematic, produce some boards then design a case around it, or is there an overall case design to start and the board must fit into that. Hopefully Fred can give us more details.

There is a trapdoor slot that goes nowhere & the port cut outs on the back don't match either (good luck plugging something into the cartridge port). I prefer that case to the one with the awkwardly placed internal drive though.
