I was rummaging through our basement last night and stumbled upon my C64 collection. I guess it is a collection since there are three C64's and a bunch of tape and 1541 drives in theres. As well as a myriad of joysticks. Brings back sweet memories...
Anyways - I remember seeing a photo on the net a couple of years ago about a redesigned C64 machine. This was done by some European company [should I remember correctly] and featured a modern CPU, a Linux variant for a OS, the familiar C64 form factor with a inclusion of a touch pad, built-in multitasking, browser and mail reader as well as a emulator for BASIC V2. Should I remember correctly, the website that featured this photo was www.commodore64.com.
I guess that machine never made it out to the public. Sadly, the site is no longer up - and was wondering - any of you guys know where I can find photos and/or information of that prototype anywhere?
