This is why I bring it up. I saw this reference in c.s.c so I took a
look at it. If it *is* real, it's an interesting packaging job, sort of a
modern one-piece machine.
However, he's selling Commodore-badged PeeCees right next to it, so
it places the veracity of the ad in question. If I had to guess, this guy
may be a local PeeCee clone maker hoping to cash in on the C= name.
That notwithstanding, a one-piece B128 with Web browsing, Ethernet,
and 6502-compatibility is *very* interesting. I wonder if it has the old
serial IEEE port...

Hmmm...new...64...BASIC...must...have...new...64...
...no...can't be...dream...aaaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhh...

OK, I feel better now.

Well, the company claims to have the rights. We're all dubious over in
comp.sys.cbm, especially after that Web.it crapola debacle (the 486 in
sheep's clothing with an emulator in ROM). There's been an awful lot of
Commodore-related vapourware these days.
