I'm going to stop doing the SideKick64s for a while.

I will attend to the requests on the list, but no more.
I want to do other things for the Commodore 64.

Any chance to make a new batch of the SideKick64 for the pi zero?

No, PI Zero is not a good choice for Sidekick64. You have to overclock the PI a lot to make it work.
Furthermore it would not work with +4/C16.

That's my opinion.

It's possible that I still have a SideKick64 left.

I meant the pi zero 2 which is the same CPU as rpi 3a.

At the heart of Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is RP3A0, a custom-built system-in-package designed by Raspberry Pi in the UK. With a quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 processor clocked at 1GHz and 512MB of SDRAM, Zero 2 is up to five times as fast as the original Raspberry Pi Zero.

Only these three models are compatible with SideKick64.
The rest will not work.

Received. Great quality board, case, everything top notch. Thanks very much.

Have you thought about making any RAD boards/cases?

I have often been asked about the RAD cartridge.
I've always said I'm not going to do it, I think the RAD is only for one game, sonic the hedgehog.
I might put together a small run, 15 or 20 cartridges, but I don't have a lot of free time available just now.
If I do I'll open a sale thread.

I’ll keep an eye out. I’d be interested in one if you decide to make any.
