Jeri Ellsworth (of C-1 fame) designed the hardware for Mammoth Toys. It's
not a *perfect* recreation of all the quirks and gimmicks of a 64, but has
most everything intact. This is probably more on-topic in comp.sys.cbm, and
you'll find some DTV-related threads there.

I'd say lots and lots of people (like me) have.

Yes, everything is available. Even an x-ray image of the chip.
Why not Google a bit? It's what I did when I got mine.

The ROM is an extra chip, as is the RAM.
