Holy mother of...!  I always wanted one of these, but not at all cost.

The C64DX/C65 seem to be emulated and is also well-documented.  Have anyone ever attempted to clone it?

It never reached a fully developed state. The prototypes sold were all at different stages of development; some were in a semi functional state (but alpha level at best), others didn't even start. So if what you are looking for is a fully functional consumer level product, there wouldn't be much to "clone"...


Yes, I am fully aware of that.  But it would be totally awesome to clone the most stable version, and then continue the work on it.  After all, it was pretty much an "8-bit Amiga".
