| Post subject: | The Hardware thread |
There's so much new hardware addons being produced for our commies these days that it's hard to keep up. When I started this forum back in 2004 (anyone remember rrforum.ath.cx?) Retro Replay and later on MMC64 were about the only new gadgets I was aware of for C64/128 (except some long runners like IDE64 and some more or less obscure projects) that were available for purchase and supported by their vendors (well, more or less). The past 5-6 years there has been a litteral Hardware explosion. NB, that I'm only talking about commercial, complete and supported products here! So why am I ranting about this? Wouldn't it be neat to collect and share all new, cool toys in one place? Yes it would! Product must be available for purchase (unless temporary out of stock) or if it's a new product that has not been released yet, there must be an info web page that has been updated within the past 6 months (or else it's considered dead). Edit: Oh, and just ONE product per POST (multiple posts are OK!) Edit2: To keep this thread nice and clean, please keep discussions in separate threads. Easy huh? Ok, fire away guys |

| Post subject: | Chameleon |
http://www.syntiac.com/chameleon.html Chameleon - The End All Solution for C64? It's all about emulation these days. Still in Beta stage but available for purchase. Started as a VGA adapter and ended as a monster. The feature set is impressive to say the least and too long to be posted here. |

| Post subject: | C64 NIC+ |
http://www.c64-wiki.com/index.php/64NIC%2B RR-Net compatible Ethernet cartridge for C64/128. Once sparked to life here on Retrohackers after a decaying project originally by Till Harbaum and has undergone several generations of metamorphosis. Now alive and prospering, being produced by Brain Innovations. Available from various vendors I believe. |
