New Commodore 128 for 64 case

[rpiguy9907]

No one to my knowledge had verified whether the RGB is converted to monochrome or if the colors are output to s-video. Monochrome would be easier of course, but color is not that difficult.

The issue was if you have a monitor setup that somehow displays RGB but not S-Video (or don't trust the quality of the onboard conversion from RGBI to S-Video), and thus would need to make modifications. If you're fine with the video outputs the manufacturer offers, no further mods will be required.

 

Yes that is a good point. I still have a working 1902 (for RGBI) that I will keep for my real 128, but I've been using a Sony PVM (s-video) with my 64 for a while. I'm looking forward to reclaiming some desk space by having 1 good quality monitor for my 64 and 128.

 

For those who don't currently have an RGBI monitor for the 128, I think we should wait and see how good or bad the 80 column on s-video looks before we condemn the The 128 Remastered.

 

I guess we shall see in Q3 2019.

What need, exactly, does this unit fulfill?

What need, exactly, does this unit fulfill?

The need to build what the designer wants. It's certainly not a mass market product like the c64mini.

I guess the project is not going forward. My pre-order was refunded and now the website is in maintenance mode. No real communication other than the refund
