    So they made a Commodore-128?

    Yea I know it actually had an 8502 but close enough. This is pretty cool. I cut my teeth on programming on that machine. I was doing assembly on that machine in middle school in the mid 80s. It was super fun but learned later I was super inefficient at it 😊

    I might look for one of these for nostalgia purposes.

    iirc, this board isn’t nearly as interesting as it seems. You can’t actually do any multiprocessing, because only one CPU can be activated at a time. So you can’t actually leverage the two CPUs to do anything that each CPU couldn’t do on it’s own.
