That would be cool, but I guess there would be cheaper ways to do it - a TRS-80 CoCo is more or less as complex as a C64 and that requires just an FPGA. You could build the whole TRS-80 line inside one chip.

The point is not to do it the cheapest possible way, the point is to do it in a way that appeals to hackers, makers, and other tinkerers.

Still, an FPGA could be even cooler than an Arduino if it were reprogrammable.
