Commodore 128 tower project started!

What's with the multi-color wire clips?

Funny, I was wondering at first, "Why not a 128D?"  But I really like my 128D case.  Tower-ize it by standing it on its end.  Done!  :lol:

The keyboard will be a treat, though.  I guess just as much as the original 128.  Unless there exists (and I have no doubt that one does) a PC to Commodore keyboard adapter.

Maybe one day I'll get hold of one of those SuperCPUs.

[EDIT] And I see one DOES exist at the C64T page.  :crazy:

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.  I had asked you once before and I don't think I ever got your response.  How are you planning to overcome the video output limitations of the 64/128.  I don't think it was ever done or can be done.

If you mean better quality graphics over all, probably a not-doing.  If you mean better quality output, you could connect the 128's 40-column video output to a monitor with S-VHS (S-Video) inputs.  I built my own cables for this, 8-pin DIN with 4-pin SVHS on the other end.  Looks VERY nice on my 20.1" LCD.

At this point I've just about converted all of my old 8-bit consoles and computers to use S-Video: TI, Atari 5200 and 7800, and Commodore stuff.  Some require hardware hacks, some just require a cable.
