| The C-One computer started off as a 2002 enhanced adaptation of the Commodore 64 - the most-sold computer model (Guiness book of World Records). While retaining almost all of the original's capabilities the Commodore One adds modern features, interfacing and capabilities. The C-One fills a gap in the hobbyist computer market. | The C-One computer started off as a 2002 enhanced adaptation of the Commodore 64 - the most-sold computer model (Guiness book of World Records).

| During development, it evolved into a re-configurable computer, a new class of computers where the chips do not have dedicated tasks any more. The two main chips carry out different tasks, depending on the needs of the program. The technology used is called FPGA - field programmable gate arrays. These chips can be programmed to do the tasks that the chips of the C-64 or other computers have done. It's no emulation, but it's a re-implementation of the chips that are no longer available since many years. | During development, it evolved into a re-configurable computer, a new class of computers where the chips do not have dedicated tasks any more.

| - | ===== Spartan Mimic - Apple Expansion Unit ===== | ||
| - | Run Apple }{ Software on the Commodore 64? Back in 1984 this seemed like an impossibility but a company (Mimic Systems) built a hardware based Apple }{ expansion unit so the Commodore 64 could do just that! See one of the few production units. | + | C1 courtesy of Tim Waite |

| - | Built into a PC case, the Sam Flex is a new PPC motherboard which can run Amiga OS 4.1. | + | Commodore Business Machines foray into the education field. The Educator 64 was CBM's answer to the Apple II that was in so many schools in the 1980's. The E64's all-in-one design was very similar to the PET 4016/4032/8032. E64 courtesy of Robert Bernardo |
