Well, the site does look much better.

Once he starts shipping product (which I'm sure he will), he'll finally silence a large portion of the naysayers.

I told you guys after contacting Altman, he's serious about this.

And the use of the Workbench name is a brilliant way to side step the Hyperion/AOS  trademark issue.


I will pass judgement if he sells the actual C64 case design as in the 3D renders (ditto A1000/2000/3000) the rest of his stuff is of no interest to me as apart from the A2000/500 abominations all Amigas were stylish and those all in one units with stuck on C= labels are pig ugly sorry.

The issue with this guy has always been nobody wants what you can buy but what he has renders of and is supposed to sell in the future. So unless that C64 case styled rendered PC is produced with identical keyboard as shown colour me "couldn't give a crap" :)

Having already built a MicroITX motherboard into a C64 case (and yes, it was simple with basic knowledge of how to use a Dremel, plastic couldn't be easier to play the mod game with) the novelty of this idea has already worn off for me, and the system is long since disassembled for use in other projects.


The keyboard used is the issue, as it is with doing PC inside Amiga 1200 units I did ages ago. If the C64 ones look exactly as shown and the price is cheap enough then great.

Personally the 64C case is nicer IMO.

Well, that rules out any traditional AmigaOS or it's offspring :lol:


Workbench 1.3 was stable for me...1 crash a year! Just can't do anything that a modern OS does ;)
