Here are some other examples: http://talk.binarytask.com/task?id=8711454161308077109 http://talk.binarytask.com/task?id=8711454161308077109 Here are some new keycaps: http://move.rupy.se/file/blue.jpg http://move.rupy.se/file/blue.jpg http://move.rupy.se/file/brown.jpg http://move.rupy.se/file/brown.jpg Unfortunately they are a bit fragile: http://move.rupy.se/file/fragile.jpg http://move.rupy.se/file/fragile.jpg There is also Mechboard64 for a new Cherry-switch keyboard, unfortunately it uses 3D printed adapters. For the CPU you can replace it with this but it has alot of shortcomings: https://monotech.fwscart.com/MOS_CPU_Replacer_(65108501)/p6083514_21591072.aspx https://monotech.fwscart.com/MOS_CPU_Replacer_(65108501)/p60... The CIA, SID and VIC2 are unreplacable... the ARM/FPGA versions don't look or sound anything near the originals. That R1 is too rare to only put sticky heatsinks on it.

I can’t tell about the CIA or VIC2, but the ARMSID sounds pretty good imho. I have to test it with proper speakers and compare. Yeah, that R1 deserves better. What would you use?

  The ARMSID can replicate most things perfectly, but it can't replicate the flaws. The problem is the R1 has a bump on it so these don't really work: https://klsele.com/products/418/419/3771.html https://klsele.com/products/418/419/3771.html If you can find those for 40-pin still, I would try padding them OR solder a frame + lid on the new motherboard or if you can find one of the RF shields that covered the whole left side of the motherboard (can't find a picture of it now, they are rare)... But yes the situation is tricky so I don't blame your solution really. I know it's hard but ideally you would try to preserve this incredible chip, that is flawed like some old poststamp!

    I totally relate to your love for the flaws. The MOS team was incredible at the time, true hackers at scale, and the flaws are documented history on their release early, release often process.
