In that case you better setup a firm to remarket the original C64. Did you know that the original C64 didn't have a diskdrive attached? Is one with a diskdrive less C64? I think it is a good idea to model the C64 to the modern ages, but we have to keep the original design phylosopies in mind: Doing much with an awfull little bit of technology. so: We can expand my list of this morning with: -a dedicated sound processor capable of doing SID and WAV and MP3 (if possible) -a dedicated graphcs processor capable of displaying on a VGA screen (With a resolution as high as possible!) -a dedicated IO processor capable of providing DMA etc. -a small proc capable of controlling all the HW described. The main advantage is (again): If we want to expand, we can add a new dedicated controller, and a new module in the kernal,a nd we are going.

For his opinion, a C64 equipped with a SuperCPU is not a C64 any more.) -Miika - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
