Ben Heck’s C64 laptop

I’m a bit late writing about this one, but it still deserves a post. I wrote about the work-of-art that was the Atari 2600 handheld some time ago. Well the latest creation is the C64 laptop…

It does its 1541 drive emulation using an SD card so you can drop stuff on it from the pc, then slip it in the C64.

It’s a working system, not just pretty. There’s a whole heap on information on benheck.com. Awesome work.
