I really have the green eye for this machine, it's a bit of a unicorn, I'd even take a normal C128. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
It’s a great machine until you want to work on it, with everything crammed into the case there’s a lot to take out before you can even get the top cover off the motherboard. So the stereo SID will be done at the same time as the 64Kb VDC upgrade.
Oh and because it’s no what you would call immaculate, it’ll soon be black in colour to match the IBM keyboard, monitor, etc.

Be interesting to see the end result :)
