VIC-20 Dual Serial Cart Mk I

It's finished! And guess what, I've decided to release it free and open source, available to build for yourself under CC-BY-SA 4.0. So if you want to make one for your VIC-20, go for it!

Everything you need to know to make and use one is is public. This includes schematics, KiCAD files, Gerber files to send off to a PCB manufacturer, demonstration programs, and a full user manual on how to configure and use it with your own software.

VIC-20 & William Shatner // The immediate predecessor to the famous Commodore 64, which sold over 1 million copies in the first 2-3 years after its release. William Shatner was the "face" of the VIC-20 commercials (video and stills), probably shortly after the first Star Trek movie. Still pictured is Michael Tomczyk, who played a huge role in the development and marketing of the machine.

To my knowledge, no production VIC-20 ever had that colorful sticker below the badge. So I had one made and attached it to my early American VIC-20 to recreate the aesthetic.

Since my vic-20 post is getting a lot of attention, I'd like to share some of the things I have for it!

Note that this is not my complete collection, but a good chunk of it :) Let me know if anyone wants to see more of my vintage computing gizmos! Much love <3
