With the host device (C64), that makes five devices on the bus; which is
standard. Unfortunately the tower owner hooked things up before testing;
counter to my instructions and burned things up. So I never got to know
how it worked.

I have wanted to do that in the past and now find myself in the same
position again. I have acquired some pee cee lunch box computers for my
next mod; a C64/1541 w/ an LCD screen. Here's one:

And another:

But the 64 mobo is too wide for them, all but one:

For this one I planned an automotive in dash DVD player with a motorized
screen. A C64/1541/DVD Player:

But I fallen in live with them as they are and am having a hard time
taking a saw to them.
