Some hardware disappears from production. Its place in our lives never quite does.
COREi64 is my personal effort to preserve the discontinued hardware that helped make Commodore computing extraordinary. I recreate rare and long-unavailable devices so their story can continue on the machines they were made for.
From storage and memory expansion to accelerators and connections between computers, this collection celebrates the ingenuity of an era—and the people who still put it to use. The aim is to bring these designs back to the workbench, back into a setup, and back into everyday discovery.
Each project begins with an appreciation for the original hardware and a desire to keep its possibilities within reach. For fellow enthusiasts, that means another opportunity to explore, build, and enjoy the systems we never stopped loving.
MADE FOR THE MACHINES. KEPT ALIVE BY THE COMMUNITY.

COREi64 / OUR APPROACHPERSONAL FROM THE START
A SMALL SHOP. A PERSONAL COMMITMENT.
Our Approach
COREi64 is a small shop. Product requests begin with an email through this site, so every order starts with a conversation.
From the circuitry within to the finished piece.
CRAFTED WITH CARE
Made by hand. Made to matter.
Individual attention, from the first email to the finished hardware.
Each item is handmade, with a commitment to the highest quality and careful attention to detail. These are personal, carefully built recreations—not mass-produced products.
I carry limited stock of most items. Sometimes, a particular piece needs to be made specifically for your order. An email is the best way to find out what is available and discuss the build you have in mind.
