The Commodore Evolution (in the development process) looks like a
fat PC keyboard. I e-mailed the guy to try to get some more detailed specs.
I wonder if this is for real or not. It looks like a recent domain
registration.
See the fine print below the picture:
"Possible Design - Give us your input -Info(a)commodore2000.com"
So it basically IS a PC keyboard.
The site looks raw enough to dissuade me from believing anything will come
out of this. And how is it going to benefit with having a 6502 onboard as
claimed if there will also be a 200-500Mhz processor, and everything else
indicates emulation? It's obvious this will simply be a PC, and putting
together a machine with the specs this one will supposedly have requires
some expensive engineering.
Look lower on their page, where they advertise the C= PC. I think that
tells us what they truly are trying to sell. The "Next Generation C64" is
just hype to suck you in.
Just my analysis.
