Scanning the original chips

So price estimate:
Unit price USD = (200 + 7*100 000) / (units)

And what about tax and wages etc. etc. etc?


There is absolutely no point doing it that way these days.
It'd be far, far cheaper to cost reduce the minimig and do a bigger run of these.

Something more like Jeri's C64 in a joystick is much more likely to work and most importantly - actually sell in good numbers.

This is probably a dumb question- but if one had the capital to reverse-engineer, wouldnt it be much cheaper to legitimately buy the original engineering data for an abandoned and obsolete technology?

Chips were designed in a completely different way back then so even if you could find them they'd be completely useless.
