Tsk, and I just gave one away (a VIC-1112);
actually used it way back then.
Pretty "niche" indeed, but "cool"...

That does seem cheap to me but maybe the VIC
doesn't get the love the
C64 normally gets, even on ebay.
That said, COOL! Glad to hear folks are doing
stuff for the PET / VIC era.
And hey, I just heard that VIC-20 is the 'new'
C-64.. ;-)
It is pretty "niche," even as micros go, to
design something new for
the VIC-20 rather than the C64. That said, I
couldn't design a power
cord if I tried, so I'll take what I can get.
And of course it
encourages people willing to design and build
these gadgets to do
more, so that's a plus, too.
