Lord Vader, your computer is ready.

I've had a loose Commodore 16 laying around waiting to get modded,
the topic comparing the C16 to the Vic inspired me to finish this.

I left the cassette port closed, since I haven't used a tape since
about 1987. The C16 uses a mini-DIN for the cassette, and I
plugged it up with some of the material removed opening up
the cart. port. The keyboard is from a C64, mainly just to get
the dark grey function keys.

I like the look of this so much, I purchased another loose C16 to
build a Vader64 also. I plan to leave its cassette port closed also, and
since the cart. port will not "swallow" up the RF modulator openings, I
will remove the RF modulator from the motheboard, and close
the openings. I never use the RF either.

Later,
Brian

I can't wait to throw this up on the front page!

Very nice!

Makes me want to clean up a vic case and spray it black...

Actually, Hm... I thought of another color scheme that I think would look more impressive... maybe... or maybe it'd look like an 80's bronco.

It's a very nice solution for yellowed vics.

Made this more than a year ago and use it as avatar



But yours is looking much better, I have to admit...

How difficult would it be to have a case mold made and produce custom color VICs? I know someone who had reproduction vectrex cart cases made for relatively cheap for the production of multicarts.

Wicked. I found a second boxed VIC today, and I might just do something like this after I clean it and fix the space bar.
