Speaking of ASICs...probably way off topic, but what's the possibility of just burning some that duplicate the VIC? Is there some weird licensing thing going on for a 40+ year old chip no one uses anymore?

The intent here being you could completely duplicate a VIC-20 with off-the-shelf parts.

Im betting that had the X8 been released months ago and called a “working prototype with reduced feature-set” 99% of this discussion wouldn’t exist. I’m being as nice as I possibly can with my post here, but some of you guys are just whiny. There seem to be plenty of people complaining that they’ll...

With the way things are going, FPGA might be the only option when all the fabs are shut down and discrete chips go the way of the dodo. As much as that would suck, it’s definitely a real possibility…
