  • Mega65 Retro Computer - Kickstarter for moulds

    From rbernardo@iglou.com@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 9 21:43:41 2020
    Development of the Mega65, a clone of the Commodore 65, is progressing slowly but surely. Prototyping has gone on for a few years, prototype boards have been sent out to beta testers, and now a Kickstarter campaign has started to gather money to
    build the steel moulds (molds) for the injection-molded cases of the Mega65.

    I have sent in my donation! For more information on the Mega65, go to

    http://mega65.org/

    or go to the page for Kickstarter donations at
