Anton, Paul,
thanks for your replies! In my opinion €999 is an awesome price for this kit. With all the work you guys put into this, one could even say it is priceless!!
I sincerely hope this will be very successfull!

Thanks for the kind words and understanding!
We also believe that the price for the DevKits is more than fair, even if it is higher than we would like. The vast majority of that is just to cover the cost of the components and the risk of getting these machines out quickly, and making sure we have the cash to bring out the production machines as quickly as possible, but importantly, as awesomely as possible.

.... Also, the serial USB adapter part of this lets you use some cool cross-development and remote debugging tools that we use internally.
Are those Windows only or can they be used with a Mac as well?

The tools are developed for and running on Linux, Windows and macOS.

Sooo, finaly auch bestellt! Freu mich schon riesig, hoffe ich kann das Teil noch ausstellen am Vintage Computer Festival in Zürich.
We do our best !
We are working hard and it has been a tough ride the last 7 month. We will be happy, when the DevKits will be shipped, but back in our heads we're working equally hard, to get the final MEGA65 on the shelves as well.
But now, with having (at this time) more than 80 DevKits sold, we are looking forward, to work together with developers to see, what they think about the MEGA65 and what they will show us, what this machine is capable of.
We have enough tools, software and documentation available, so from our point of view a good starting point is given.
And our hope is, that with the increase in people working with the MEGA65 we will also get all kind of new ideas and we are able to ship the final MEGA65 with some nice games already...
Our main goal from the beginning was, to produce a machine, that is totally open-source and non-profit driven, with this thought, we believe it is possible to not only preserve the C65 but also C64, Amiga, Atari for the future. It's about time to get open-source cores for those machines on a hardware platform which will be still accessible in years to come.
Our injection mould will last ~5000 cases, before a rework is required. that's a nice starting point. (and do not forget, that we also have a fitting case available from plexilaser).

Geht mir auch so Wann ist das Festival in Zürich, möchte da auch mal hin.
Also one of the things that has me really excited, is that a few of the very active and productive retro games and tools developers have bought one, each with the definite goal in mind of making releases on the MEGA65! We may yet get Christmas surprises that none of us had previously expected!

It would be nice to see an remake of an game like Impossible Mission. I wonder how this game would be look like with the new possibilities of the VIC 4.
Just a question, because I read it in the description site at Trenz:

This DevKit is a limited developer’s production run (100 pieces. Orders > 100 will be placed on a waiting list).
Will there be a second batch for the devkits (> 100) or are the orders on the waiting list for the final Mega65 then?
i am happy to add you to the mailing list, please pm your email address to me
.. i send you a PM in the F64 "Konversation"

I believe they will go on the waiting list for the production machines. We don't currently anticipate needing to have a larger devkit cohort than the 100 units already offered.
