Hey, just to offer more details on this piece: After I saw the initial video with Perifractic, I reached out to him via fax (a 20th century technology) to set up an interview over Zoom (a 21st century technology). Over an hour-long call, he offered a ton of details on the project that weren’t in the video.
“Now, I won’t go into too many details, but we basically took out a second mortgage on our house to get this done,” he told me. “It’s been seven months, nearly eight months of work, actually.”
We also talked about how a revived Commodore might interact with prominent existing Commodore-adjacent projects like Amiga Forever and the Commander X16, and discussed the possibility of new hardware.
That's so cool! Thank you for taking the time to talk to him and give us more details in the project.
