It's been a popular thing for a while, to build your own C64 (or other retro computer, like Apple 1) from "scratch". My own one has the additional "challenge" of using as few original commodore parts as possible. I've now successfully replaced the actual MOS6510 cpu with a non-mos 6502 with the help of an adapter board that implements the logic required for the additional IO pins and tri-state capability of the 6510. The remaining challenges are the CIA chips and the VIC2, when these are done, it's built entirely from non commodore off-the-shelf parts. I'm not entirely done enough with the project for there to be a project page, but here are some of the pictures I've taken during the build. http://dusted.dk/pages/c64/MaxFake64/allpics/ http://dusted.dk/pages/c64/MaxFake64/allpics/
