Development of the Mega65, a clone of the Commodore 65, is progressing slowly but surely. Prototyping has gone on for a few years, prototype boards have been sent out to beta testers, and now a Kickstarter campaign has started to gather money to build the steel moulds (molds) for the injection-molded cases of the Mega65.
I have sent in my donation! For more information on the Mega65, go to

or go to the page for Kickstarter donations at

It's a crowdfunding OK, but not a kickstarter.
The creators thought kickstarter was too much trouble, but honestly I think doing it this way simply doesn't have it get enough traction.

Ah, my goof-up... When I saw the small number of prizes being offered, I thought it was Kickstarter.
