Hi,

Commodore 64 to reboot as 'Phoenix'

This is not a C64, and is not even a real attempt at a reboot, but
rather a bunch of crap.

Look at:
http://www.cybernetman.com/en/products/zero-footprint-pc/zpc-gx31.cfm

Looks familiar?

More precisely, it's just a PC, and a company who produces and designs
nothing (commodoreusa.net), but simply resells other people's products,
decided to flog it as a "C64" to try and lure in some suckers. They
don't even have rights to the Commodore name or logo.

So far they have done a reasonable job of tricking 'tech sites' into
publishing their amazing 'news releases'. It's scary to think how easy
it is these days for anyone to produce a news release, and then a bunch
of 'news sites' will publish it blindly without too much verification.

Regards,

Ross..

I just noticed it has a standard DB-9 serial, and DB-25 parallel port.

I wonder how many peripherals are designed to plug into these types of
ports these days.

Twin Serial Ports???? It is a 64.

As far as normal consumers go, probably just mid-high end printers. For
example my new Brother laser has USB + parallel on it.

However many PC motherboards still have a parallel and serial port and
since the machine is just an shrunken PC, it's not that big a shock, in
my opinion..

By consumer, I take it you mean single computer home bods?
Otherwise, mid-high end means network port in my experience

These days not many but I still use them a lot for my retro/vintage
activities, EPROM burning etc.

On my real C64 and VIC-20 however it's easier to take out the SD card, pop
it into my PC and copy stuff onto or off it and then put it back into the
Commodore.

LOL! How retarded is that?

Quite a lot compared to it's bigger brothers, but it's designed to be
mounted inside internally so it's the most compact size.
