NOTES:
The Commodore 64 Mini will connect to modern displays via HDMI and feature a “pixel perfect” display mode at a 4:3 ratio. The console will have two USB ports for the Keyboard and Joystick. It will come in at roughly half the size of the original console. Keep in mind the keyboard shown on the unit is just for show and is non functional. However using the USB ports you can plug in a full size keyboard and write basic programs. Word has it the new 64 Mini will retail for about $70. Check back in March and I will update this post with a link to the unit.
