This time they made it LOOK like a real Commodore:

Neat, but unfortunately its only support for vintage operation is
emulator software. It needs a real C64 inside, a la Jeri E.'s projects.

Well, let's hope something can be worked out. DC Studio's up in Canada
owns the rights to the C64 chip she did as I understand, and they
haven't done much with it over years, last product I saw was an
unlicensed use of it by Mammoth Studio's in a off-roader plug n play
game, but nothing much else, so it would certainly be nice to see it
used in something like the new C64 computer...

Unlicensed? Wasn't Mammoth the same company that made her DTV?

The 4x4 unit was unlicensed, apparently they never got permission, nor
paid royalties to DC studios on that particular product.

Very cool - except for the fact that it's vaporware. If you look around on their site
there are lots of other cool things that exist only in their imaginations.

Now /that/ one I like. Enough to buy one if I had the money spare, and
the thing was actually, y'know, /real/.

Why not?
Get a mini-mini ITX board, a very small power supply and build it inside
an old C64 shell. The keyboard interfacing is simple enough. As soon as I
get a broken C64 here I'll do that :D

I've actually seen this done with a 1541 drive chassis. The builder even
installed a slot-loading DVD drive aligned with the stock 5-1/4" floppy
opening. Here's a similar project, but not done to the same standard as
the one I recall: http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/c1541/

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
