Hardware, Embedded Systems In this article, I'm going to explore the idea that the 8 bit home computer not only had a great deal to offer the prehistoric early-humans of 1985 but that it may also have a place in the modern world; perhaps, there is something that we can learn from it. Having identified the laudable, worthwhile elements of this class of machine, I'm going to make some suggestions towards a scheme that would embody these characteristics in the form of a machine that would have a place within the modern world.

C64DTV has no expansion slot, no keyboard, and no capabilities to run any external drive.

At least a modern and modified version of it then it could, but has never being released into the market...

CPC Trek you signalled is not so expandable as CommodoreONE.

(perhaps a second version of CPC-Trek it will overcome C=One, but actually it can't)

If you read it well C=ONE has:

- standard C64 cartridge slot (can connect ehternet and other thingies)

- Amiga clockports (are so efficient to allow to connect expansion cards)

- 2 PCI slots (this is very interesting)...

- C=ONE also uses standard ram slot and could mount RAM modules upto 128 megabytes

- And finally has connectors adapters to mount various original 8 bit CPUs...

I think this all bonanza it is worth the price...
