I'm buying one because I have problems but I sincerely think there should be a cut down version. Especially one without a floppy drive (What if you don't actually have any old floppies and just want a cool embedded games platform?) I mean, I'm not seriously expecting this to be the next big computing platform but I do think that a lower barrier to entry would help adoption.

Can check these out as an alternative: https://ultimate64.com/ https://ultimate64.com/ The Ultimate 64 is the computer and the Ultimate II+ acts as a memory card reader for a Commodore 64 so you can mount different .d64 images to it.

They're already planning a spin on the "C65 Classroom Computer", as seen at https://www.forum64.de/index.php?thread/102560-wo-kann-man-den-mega65-kaufen-und-wie-teuer-ist-das-teil/&postID=1724113#post1724113 https://www.forum64.de/index.php?thread/102560-wo-kann-man-d... They also have issues sourcing functional refurbished 3.5" drives, apparently the idea is to potentially move away from the built-in drive entirely after those 1400 units they're building right now.
