    Description

    Build your own Commodore 128 Computer with this Professionally Fabricated
    Motherboard
    Replica
    This board was meticulously reverse engineered and recreated in fine detail, by the same folks that started it all with the NEO128 project.
    The
    Open128 project
    has addressed all of the bugs and issues that were identified with the NEO, to create the most accurate reproduction available anywhere.
    What's Included Here:
    A professionally fabricated printed circuit board (PCB)
    What Else You'll Need:
    A C128 Case, Keyboard and Power Supply
    A comprehensive bill of materials (BOM) is available from the designer, which includes most part numbers from Mouser and Digikey  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zUtxtGJXJYNnywbkKnOkNUpxrKf-UnRRmo3kFO5taO4/edit#gid=0
    Given the age of the C128, there are obviously going to be
    some
    parts that are harder to find, because they're no longer being manufactured. For this reason, it's best to have an original "Donor System", which doesn't need to be working, but should still have functional parts you can reuse. You can generally find them on eBay by searching for "C128 for Parts or Repair"
