Boing! Gideon Zweitgzer of 1541 Ultimate fame is now considering the Ultimate-64! A more radical redesign of the original C64 than the C64 Reloaded board, the Ultimate-64 is a FPGA implementation of the C64 and is still meant to fit within a C64 case. And it comes with the 1541 Ultimate built into it. See

Now if only he would build a C128 version...

Heh, being an owner of two CommodoreOne's and several C64 DTV's, I have no problem with The Ultimate-64.

I don't treat this as emulate, but as safe preserve and reconstruction of C64. Not to mention
additional miracles as 1541U the HDMI output sonds like a dream for me. Very good video stream directly connect to new display machines (no any converters, luma fix etc.). Digitalized SID sounds interesting as well - that's is final way in case HDMI transfer of sound even from real SID. Looking on the achievment of Gideon over 1541U I'm sure this will be perfectly working like 1541U. Love IT and immediatelly order when will be possible.
