I didn't realize there was a shortage of these things. Just a couple months
ago, I bought a VIC IEC to IEEE-488 interface for around $25 on eBay, and
ended up selling it back off for about the same.
This is probably faster, being that it connects directly to the Expansion
Port (data / address busses, etc) but still the same function.
That said, COOL! Glad to hear folks are doing stuff for the PET / VIC era.
And hey, I just heard that VIC-20 is the 'new' C-64.. ;-)

Some friends in the local 8-bit micro hobby have
whipped up a clone of
Commodore's VIC-1112 IEEE interface for the VIC-20 computer. The news
has probably permeated most of the C= scene but I figured it was worth
dropping here for maximum exposure. I saw the prototype working at
VCF Midwest earlier this year. They're funding it through Kickstarter
and have reached their goal, so production is sure to go ahead.
You've got your choice of a DiY board, assembled board or a fully
cased cartridge.
Just over 60 hours to go:
