A few ideas.
Here's a few of the ideas I've had dispersed a bit everywhere on the web over the time I had followed the Mega65 project. This is as much as for me to remember these than for others to talk about. -...

I would add that a version without a floppy disk drive would be nice (keep the case as is and don't put the drive in ;-) ), in order to lower the cost of the machine. All the best for your project!

Ok, but why leave case untouched? I'm user of Mega 65 and C128 coder. Long time I was preffering diskettes 1581, later FD-4000, now like time goes, I see that Commodores still missing USB. With my...

I totally agree with you Mikrosoft! My aim was to keep the costs as low as possible and designing a new case may be raising them. But yeah, a numpad would be great instead of a deprecated storage...

Hi, MEGA65 is a modular system. You don't need to use or buy a floppy drive if you don't like one. SD-cards are and will always be supported. However, basis for the MEGA65 is the C65 so we are...

I think, numpad is matter of taste. Eg I never used that on PC either, and I would be happy to forget that on PC too. Eg it uses too much place on a notebook. But it's again what people are used to...

I want a disk drive for my Mega65 :) So for people who do want a disk drive, for people who would love to have the disk drive for the full retro feel it would be great to give people that option as...

As hinted at above, changing the case will be SUPER EXPENSIVE because of the injection moulding tooling costs. Just leaving out the floppy drive (or perhaps replacing it with a CF card reader in the...

I certainly want a disk drive in mine as it will enhance the retro feel of the machine. I'm assuming the drive will be a high density and that the hardware will support it. It will be an interesting...

IMHO, the the old C=65 case was ridiculous when Doug Cotton showed me the picture of it at the last Amigaworld in NYC. I was working at the CMD booth. :-) I actually had some hack that would let me...

I mean that floppy drive today can be only option. I'm C128 programmer and always using numpad. When we look at M65 we can see it in two ways: Retro style - originally looking C65 like w/ FDD New...

For the complete ready to run package, i am voting for the original c65 like case with built in FDD - Since this is a c65 on steroids, and the case and keyboard originally designed by Commodore. There...

Why not think about a compact version of the computer without drive? An optional drive could be still chain-connected on right side. I got this conclusion because the machine has the built-in SD card...

#13 Read post #7. The mold is already made, and it would be much better to use their resources on making a proper motherboard and core. That case you're suggesting isn't authentic in design like the...
