Tempo fa ho citato il progetto Pyc64, un C/64 "diversamente emulato". Esiste un progetto molto più ambizioso che sta andando in pressione, si chiama Commander X 16, ed è partito da David Murray e da altre tre persone.

Il desiderio di David era quello di creare un computer a 8bit simile al C/64 ma un po' più comodo da usare: per esempio con 80 colonne, ma non con troppa potenza di calcolo, in modo da non snaturare la sua natura "retrò".

Anche io avevo un desiderio simile ed ero approdato al Pyc64 che univa il meglio del python ad una emulazione degli sprite e ad un minimo di possibilità di scrivere codice in linguaggio macchina. Ma ovviamente era tutto fatto via software, non c'era una macchina reale, ed inoltre aveva parecchi limiti.
