[C-64 Hardware mods]

I find it hard to believe that any one is doing anything with these
machines?
what is this a gofer alert?

There's a very, very active "scene" in the 8-bit groups - and hardware mods
are all the rage. The Sinclair Spectrum has quite a few IDE interfaces, RAM
upgrades etc.

Hell, some muppet is even writing a windows IDE for Sinclair BASIC, to
generate code for use on the old machines. They're all mad, of course.
