Things I'm nostalgic for are slightly older like the VT100 and PDP 11 series. There was something just amazing about the soft blip when turning on the VT100, and something very powerful about clacking away on that keyboard, writing code to do whatever you could think of. But even if someone made a brand new VT 100 with a proper CRT and embedded a PDP 11 equivalent, would I pay $832.50 for it? Nah, probably not.
Still, kudos to the team for successfully recreating the C64 in FGPA. Preserving digital heritage is important even if it's time consuming and expensive.
- everslick 4y agoActually it is a recreation of the C65. (Which happened to have a C64 mode) Running 3rd party cores is possible though.
- russellendicott 4y agoI've always wanted a PDP11 but having never used one I'm overwhelmed when looking for them. I have no way of knowing if I'm buying the right parts or how to tell if they function. Are there any retro recreations of PDP machines? All I've ever been able to find are emulators.

- technofiend 4y agoYeah, that is cool. I've seen it a few times and thought... maybe. But honestly so far I've gotten all the nostalgia I need out of running SIMH. But thank you.
- driverdan 4y agoI have my childhood VT180 sitting here in its original box, along with all the documentation and software. Unfortunately it's not currently working but one of these days I'll dig into it and figure out what's wrong.
