I'd love to replace it but I'm not sure I could deal with CRT whine anymore.
The video out is just an rca cable you can plug it into a more modern tv in the yellow video port. I'm using an lcd tv I have for older stuff.

Oh, shiny. That could do.

It's a connector for an IBM 7000 series mainframe.
That’s so cool! Did you work on those back in the 60s?

You had an A3000? Those are not cheap today. Hell, Amigas in general are expensive.
I think so, but I really can't remember exactly. I mostly remember playing shufflepuck cafe on it when I was young. The next computer we had was a Macintosh 7100. Before getting a gateway years later.
I'm pretty sure I still have some 3.5" floppies from them.

if I remember correctly my first PC had the bigger DIN connector for the keyboard and a DSUB9 for the mouse. Guess I'm old

I had a VIC-20, the predecessor to the C64...
Same here. I was so excited when we upgraded to a 128, and skipped the 64 entirely. That was some serious computing power.

I got that reference. Fuck, I'm old.

Look at you with your fancy ps/2 keyboard port. Where's my AT port and 9 pin serial mouse.

Please explain? I get that the chubby bird is speaking assembly, but I'm sure there's more to it than that?
-
There are HDMI mods for the C64 as well.
Yep, that's how the new one is getting HDMI. They've collaborated with several of the major hardware guys and put it all together in a pretty package at a cheaper price then doing it myself. I already have a bunch of hardware, this is just a splurge.

PS2 keyboards use interrupts rather than polling in USB, meaning every time a key is pressed the CPU stops what its doing to process it.

Keyboard slows down the CPU because it gets priority over whatever the CPU is working on so the keyboard could cause your system to lag.
Back then all we had was single core CPUs.

Nah, I'm not that old. My dad was in tech so I got to see a lot of neat old stuff growing up.

Could be worse, could be that one.

Cool! I had no idea it was deeper than just a physical interface change.

Bitch

(Kidding, you’re not a bitch and this isn’t a contest. But if it was…)

Same. I remember needing converters for these newfangled PS/2 connectors. Then again, I am old enough that I remember why floppies were called floppies, and used tape for more than just backup. And hard drives being as big as a shoe box and with less storage than you now have as CPU caches.

Yeah I loved my c-128
