This Century’s First 100% New Commodore 64!

This Century’s First 100% New Commodore 64!
The Commodore 64 was discontinued in 1994 and since then it’s been impossible to find a 100% new “real” (non-emulation) replacement. Thanks to the sponsorship of http://PCBWay.com – great PCBs from $5! – let’s try to build the world’s first brand new C64 / C64C by experimenting with the new EVO64 motherboard, and the Ultimate 64, as well as the new keycaps from a recent Indiegogo Crowdfunding campaign, and a host of other modern replacements for the 6510 / 6502 CPU, PSU, PLA, CIA, SID chips, VIC-II chip, and more!
