Can a Commodore 1541 disk drive be used as a general purpose computer? - YouTube

"I modified the KIM-1 kernal to run on a bone stock Commodore 1541 disk drive. That's right -- zero hardware modifications. I'll walk you through the theory behind this, and everything I needed to do to make it work, then I'll show you a Hello World example in both BASIC and machine language running on a Commodore 1541 disk drive."

I'd buy a C128U in a heartbeat, or a VIC20U. Unfortunately I bet such a device will not be made. (Guessing an Amiga is next.)

I strongly suspect that a VIC20U could be exact C64U hardware with updated firmware. Or could be a second mode for a C64U.

The C128 needs a few more keys, but might be able to share hardware with an Amiga? I'm not super familiar with the Amiga keyboard layout.

A C128U-style device could easily also be a perfect C64U.
