C64 will never die!

If you thought C64 is a museum relic from the 80's you were mistaken.
I've been drooling over some Commodore 64 add on cards for a couple of years now. Namely Retro Replay and MMC64 both by Individual Computers. Now the guys at IC have combined the 2 in to a single device called MMC Replay and the price is reduced.
I could not resist anymore, and so I finally ordered it and a clear blue cartridge to fit it in. I guess it payed of to wait. I also ordered a 4GB SDhc card for all my C64 games and software.

Like in the past C64 was the leading edge of technology and my C64 will be the first computer to have a solid state hard drive in my collection. Talk about keeping up with the times, baby!

I also have to make 2-3 cables to hook up my C64 using S-Video for the first time.
This requires 2 different cables for 2 different inputs. 1 with the normal mini-DIN "S-Video" connector and the other with BNC for use with my Lumagen HDQ. I'll make a regular composhit cable just incase I take my new Commodore "gaming console" with me and an S-Video input is not guaranteed.
I'll try to write a Retroruuvaus article once I have the hardware in place.
