first of all, its vaporware - doesn't exist yet (taking orders does not mean
product).
secondly, just because it looks like a c64, doesn't make it a c64
its a PC running emulation software and cannot read or write real c64 disks either 1581 or
1541and you couldn't connect such a drive and make it work.
why not just buy a mini pc for $100-$300 and run the emulation software yourself?
oh, yeah it wouldn't look like a c64? ok, paint it.
anyone who buys one of these is a moron ;)

To my eye, the proportions of the thing don't look quite right. It
looks quite a bit "thicker" (i.e. vertical dimension) than the
original C64.
So what's next? A S/360-40 lookalike with a P4 motherboard tucked
inside?
