Is This The Ultimate Commodore 64 Mod?
By James Grahame
The C-64 occupies a unique position in the 8-bit music world, thanks to its amazing little SID synthesizer chip. The RX-64R is a rather impressive C-64 that's been modded to include a 7" LCD screen, dual port switchable joystick, 4 analog controllers for synth applications, a custom control panel a SID2SID dual SID-chip mod and more. The case is modeled after a Moog monosynth, with wooden end caps and lots of metal.
After two years of development, the project still has a sizable to-do list. Luckily, this is one project that won't be out of date anytime soon -- it's already 20 years behind the times.
