OT: New Commodore PC coming out
Message #1 Posted by Namir on 11 May 2011, 12:43 p.m.

Commodore USA is launching several old models with new OS (Linus) and good hardware specs (typical 4 GB RAM and 500GB to 1TB hard drive) at the end of the month. Looks like HP-15C is not the only vintage machine that has a nostalgia club!!

You can click here to visit the Commodore USA web site and look at the different models, configurations, and prices.

Even though the website says the new C-64 runs the old games/software, I didn't see the slot for the cartridges...

There are some sweet memories coming up ....:-)
It's not cheap for a toy, but I like the OS running the HW underneath the Emulation (Linux)
Thanks for sharing this.

Cool. Another commodity PC in a funny looking box.

This is not "your" Commodore anymore:

Commodore USA, LLC, recently secured licensing rights to both the Commodore and AMIGA brands

Heise (in german)

Certainly expensive and not in production yet.
