C64 Reloaded ? (in Hardware)
Someone else noticed that 1st April entry at c64.sk about a new C64 in actual Hardware made by individual computers ?
Thought about an April joke, but then i saw this :

Tss.. Bidding starts at 200
Way too steep imo. I can buy 8 2nd hand 64's for that kind of money |

indeed, jens vaguely announced, time after time anyone who wants one, could be provided with one. big secret mongering *shrug* about production figures, though, plus you had to be very lucky or patient or both last year to grab one. but afair there's some function on icomp shop that informs registered customers if reloaded is available again.
BTW inspite of some minor complaints, all in all, I'm quite happy with my reloaded, though in a way I envy future customers, since I guess, before they produce again, they're gonna fix some teething problems of earlier production, e.g. the clock generator replacement which I had to replace by an original MOS 8701 against spooky cold starting behaviour. Great thing for soldering failures (like myself) is, almost everything of importance is socketed, plus many other things like old/new SID/VIC filters/voltage issues can be done via jumpers |

for the most part it would need cost reduction, the current production process simply involves way too much manual work... |

"but afair there's some function on icomp shop that informs registered customers if reloaded is available again"
I have used a webpage change monitoring tool for that, for free. luckily I was right infront of my lappy when it got online, so I was probably one of the first, if not the, in that batch.
now it is happily collecting dust on the table :) |
