- Yup it's possible to hack an Amiga 500 in to an SX64 case. I saw
- one such user-cobbled machine up in Sacramento in early July at the grand
- opening of an Amiga shop there (no the 500SX wasn't for sale.. the guy just
- brought it in to show what he had done). He had also hacked an
- Amiga keyboard onto the thing, and had hacked an Amiga disk drive
- into the slot where the C64/1541 drive had been. He loaded and ran a
- few games, but again, you couldn't read an 80 column text on that
- little 5" monitor to save yer life.
