Commodore 64 Original Hardware Laptop Revision 2 For Charity!
« on: July 06, 2009, 01:26:39 PM »

Here is the latest Commodore 64 original hardware laptop, “Revision 2″. Thanks to the generosity of the person requesting this build, this particular unit will be up for auction with proceeds benefiting charity.

The current plan is to have a “silent auction” where people send us their bids, and then the proceeds go to Child’s Play. We will start this auction on Monday July 6th after the holiday week. Bids should start at $1000 US.

It is very similar to the first C64 laptop I built, with the key difference being it uses the newer 1541-III Ultimate SD-card based storage solution / disk emulator. USB and Ethernet ports for this device are open and available on the front of the unit.

Back in my day, we didn\'t have water. We only had Oxygen and Hydrogen, and we\'d just have to shove them together.

Nice but... Catridge Port? User Port? Cassette Port? Looks like it has a serial port so thats good... I'm curious if this was built from a DTV unit or a real 64 base unit...
