The way I see it, the craziness of the parts market has put a lot of retrocomputer hobbyist projects on hold. <ul> <li> The Ultimate C64 is unobtainable indefinitely due to the FPGA price. </li> <li> The Mega65 is taking second-round pre-orders, but I doubt they're immune to the FPGA price problem ...
