It's time to announce the upcoming new "Ultimate-64" board! In order to sustain
the love for the Commodore 64, with failing machines, power supplies and flaky
old connectors, I proudly present a new main board for your beloved C64 case:
What is it?!  This board is a hardware implementation (FPGA) of the entire C64,
and it includes the Ultimate-II+ as well.  An ALL IN ONE solution! It will be
produced in small batches, and the creator hopes to be able to sell it for
around 200 dollars. That's a pretty great price to give a C64 a lease on life.

Well, here is some more detail --

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
