Not with a Commodore 64. First the Commodore only has 64KB of ram (2MB if it's the DTV 2), and really I don't think the sytem could read a directory of over 128GB, not to mention you'd never need that kind of space to begin with.

Secondly if you're going to made a PDA and stick to the idea that you want the COAC as part of it. You're going to have to have a switch mode on it to go from whatever you have planned to the Commodre.

If you really want to know what the Commodore64 is capible look at IDE64, they made peripheals for the Commodore 64.

It sounds like it would be a blackberry format with the mini keyboard instead of a touchscreen.

Do you mean 128 MB?

Because even with Windows 95, you had trouble with 2.1 GB+, and later OSes had trouble with 137 GB+.

Yeah seriously that's way to much memory storage for it you would never need so much for a commadore 64...

Are you running things other than the C64 on this, why would you need wifi?

Jack I know you're not here often anymore, but why'd you bring up a thread that's over a month old?
