I didn't even know that. I just got an e-mail from a guy asking if it's possible to put a 6551 in a C16. These chips aren't exactly rare these days as Mouser carries the W65C51 in stock.

Industrial scalers are good if you know which one works and have the space. I made a few mistakes along the way and bought some Sony scalers, they all have horrid over-engineered power supplies that die in complex and expensive ways, and have video engines that connect only to certain Sony monitors ...
