Ben Heck’s New Commodore 64 Laptop Going Up For Auction For Charity

By Adam Frucci on July 2, 2009 at 3:20 AM

Ben Heck, console modder extraordinaire, has just finished up his newest Commodore 64 laptop, and he’s auctioning it off for charity.

It is very similar to the first C64 laptop I built, with the key difference being it uses the newer 1541-III Ultimate SD-card based storage solution / disk emulator. USB and Ethernet ports for this device are open and available on the front of the unit.

Want it? You’ll need to wait until the auction goes live. All proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society, so really, it’d be a good deed to buy it. Right? [Ben Heck via CrunchGear]

    I would dearly love one of these!

    I live in Tasmania too, so not too far away considering postage etc.

    Ben: I have lots of C64 parts, you should make a few more!
