    Zitat von Rocky Bergen

    Care was taken to honor the styling of the Commodore 65 prototype case. Special attention was given to the keyboard to ensure both Commodore users and new entrants into the retro market would not be frustrated with the laptop's layout.

    Modern ports were chosen in favor of legacy ports. This cut down on extra bulk and cost. One exception was made in the inclusion of two vintage 9-pin Control Ports as they are low cost and extremely popular even today.

  • Hi Snoopy !

    Nice find ! (but quite old... :wink: )

    Yes we can confirm Rocky helped us alot at the beginning of our project with several design studies, etc.

    Also he took the measurements from the original C65 for us. (iirc)

    With those design studies, we had a very good base to start our project.

    When the Laptop design was done none of us even could have dreamed of, that we will have injection moulds and custom made keyboards.

    Oh ... but in a retro forum, "old" is rather relative anyway. :)

    Please put me on the pre-order list for the MEGA65 laptop. I like the design study extremely well. I really want one of those! :D

  • All good ! I am amazed by the kind of stuff you're able to dig out of the web always !

    I only wanted to state, that this study is rather old and not recent, so that people don't think we will

    come up with a completely new design now.

    This study is really from the time shortly after we teamed up with Paul. so apprx. around 2015 / 2016.

    (Yes we've put you on the preorder list....expect delivery around 2065) :wink:
