That was a good read! I received mine as well. The project is currently going through the expected teething flurry of daily firmware update/bug-squashing now that hundreds of people have them in-hand.

It was interesting receiving a new device with a 3.5" Alps floppy drive installed. The keyboard is excellent, cherry MX switches of the linear variety (maybe red?) and is a big reason I bought the machine. I really wanted some FPGA machine with Commodore ports and a real keyboard with CBM layout and markings as a base for future projects, more than I wanted a Mega system, and this is all that. There's already a true C64 core ported from MiSTer, with more on the way. Basic 10 is very nice to use and quite powerful for a Commodore machine, so much so I haven't dabbled in ASM/machine yet on it.
