New replacement Commodore 64 (Vic-20) Keyboards with Cherry MX switches!

With this final piece of the puzzle, we now have the ability to build a completely new Commodore 64 from scratch with all new parts. No more scavenging parts off of real machines.
With a new case, an Ultimate 64 motherboard, and now this keyboard, you have a fully functional, all new Commodore 64.
Long live the Commodore 64.

Raspberry Pi based 1541 emulator

Raspberry Pi based 1541 emulator

FTA:
Pi1541 is a real-time, cycle exact, Commodore 1541 disk drive emulator that can run on a Raspberry Pi 3B (or 3B+). The software is free and I have endeavored to make the hardware as simple and inexpensive as possible.

Pi1541 provides you with an SD card solution for using D64, G64, NIB and NBZ Commodore disk images on real Commodore 8 bit computers such as;-
Commodore 64
Commodore 128
Commodore Vic20
Commodore 16
Commodore Plus4
