Re: What case would you put you CX16 board into?

Would be lovely if one could buy the Commander X16 in such an enclosure... but looking at the price of the Mega65 I doubt it would ever be cost effective.

Re: What case would you put you CX16 board into?

Eventually I will put mine into my own wedge case design (that's the one for Gen-2): fronrightB.jpg I plan to add a compartment in the back to allow space for the DEV board: CaseX16largeB.png Those who are interested can find the design on Thingiverse That case is wonderful. This would make the Com...

Re: Pre-Orders are Here

Because you can't. You have to order the goodies separately. Hmm. When I ordered my X16, all of the extras such as micro-ATX power supply, more memory, etc. were orderable right on the same page as the board. I ordered everything. -Bill I see that, but I have to make a seperate order for the rest o...

Re: Thoughts on retaining the 65C02 all the way to phase 3?

I think that the lack of real hardware magic of Phase 1 and 2 will make the Phase 3 irrelevant for those of us who gets goose bumps thinking about a proper real 8-bit machine with a beating 6502-like heart.

Awesome!
I just put in my pre-order, along with the upgrade kit, keyboard, PSU and AC adapter.

Re: Will the X16 Developer Edition come with a manual?

I would love a proper bound (preferable spiral) manual, but a order-to-print would
be fine, too. Commodore did write some fairly solid manuals to get startet with, iirc.

Re: none of the phases is my dream computer?

As far as Dave's initial target of 50-200 dollars I immediately understood that to be unrealistic. There simply is no point in tring to replicate the Sinclair way in this day and age. Everybody interested will be in their middle age with disposable income. Inflation also means that $50 is an absurd...
