Go-ho-hooooood luck finding one.  And, if you do, prepare to pay - the last one on eBay went for US$8,000.

I agree with you wholeheartedly.  That's why I'm hoping someone will clone the C65 so we can continue the development of it.

If I had one, I would dedicate all my spare time reverse-engineering it down to the last detail.

I have one.  It works fine, except the keyboard is a little messed up.  The ribbon cable got pinched in the casing and messed up a few traces on the ribbon.  It may be repairable, but I am not skilled enough for that. Other than that it is a complete working uint. Had it since I got it "new" from Grapevine Group somewhere between 92 and 94.

A motherboard missing two chips (important custom ones) sold just recently for about $500.
