      From: rbernardo@iglou.com               I forwarded to Brian the following questions from another user --              * does he have a prototype created yet?              * has he found a manufacturing company and gotten a ballpark estimate       for the project              * is he recreating or enhancing the keyboard?              * does GoFundMe also have a tier level like Kickstarter (i.e. throw in       $100 and you get a keyboard, $165 for two keyboards)              * has he matched the color of an original keyboard to a modern day color       for production, are there other colors available (sacrilegious!)              * what does $15K get the community? it's not clear, does the project       result in an open source product or just some cash for him?              * does the keyboard have enhancements like processing onboard via an       ardurino/RPI CM/PLA which then allow its use as a USB device for       PCs/Macs/or ideally other old retro platforms (VIC-20/C-64/Amiga/TI99 4A/ST)              * how will this work with a non-US C128D?, that will need slightly       different keycaps, where are the translations/lanuages for the keyboard       - in ROM?              No reply from Brian yet,       Robert Bernardo              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
