Are they planning on manufacturing new c65, cause if they are I want one?


The C65 wasn't even finished, to begin with.

Reproducing a C65 would, therefore, be a huge undertaking. They would have to reproduce hardware that isn't very well documented and was still in it's early prototype stage when Commodore abandoned it. They would also have to fix/rewrite Commodore Basic V10.0 and find a way to make the system binary compatible to more than the acknowledged 60-70% of C64 software.

So in short, I don't think anyone is going to manufacture new C65s. Nor would there be any sense in it, other than satisfying the curiosity of an elite few.
