After the Roland MIDI Sound Canvas I also bought a Commodore 64 (C-Model) today on ebay. I already had a A-Model but the C-Model is smaller and better to use for an C64 laptop since I need it to be even smaller. I need to cut the motherboard in 2 parts. Well… This is why I need to buy more than 1. It still needs to come over from Germany to the Netherlands… I also hopes the keyboard is clean en still the same color as many year ago.

Bought and C64 (C-Model)First let me show you the famious C64 laptop from benheck.
Commodore 64 Original Hardware Laptop Revision 2
Don’t you want to own a laptop like this? I would
Ok, now how to start working on this. I think you need time… lots of free time. This is something I don’t have at this moment since I study photography and have I fulltime job as Java developer and being daddy.
Second, you need some money to buy of the mod stuff. A LCD monitor panel, speakers, extra hardware, add-ons, ect… And don’t forget the tools. Drill, Dremel, electronics tools, ect…
What do I want to build? just a laptop like the picture above? or create something special? I ‘think’ a want just a c64 laptop, lcd screen, speakers, maybe some cool add-ons but maybe i’ll like a very thin computer with less add-ons in it. I don’t know yet (like always)
I’ve seen very special mods with VU-meters, displays, buttons, colors, ect… They all look very nice to me but they are not me.. If i’m gonna build a c64 laptop, it a Dustin C64 laptop (What ever that me be). Something I like.
