This is a Commodore VIC-20 computer whose motherboard has been replaced with a Raspberry Pi 3 model B. An Arduino compatible Pro Micro translates the VIC-20 keyboard to a USB interface. The system can be used as a stand-alone USB keyboard for most modern computers, or with the included 5 volt power supply it becomes a functioning Linux based computer with WiFi, 10/100 Ethernet, and Bluetooth. The included 32 Gb micro-SD card can be repurposed or replaced to operate the system as an arcade game, an entertainment console, or even a Commodore 64. The modifications to the case were made to be completelynon-destructive.

Certainkey substitutions were made in an effort to adaptthe VIC-20 keyboard to modern needs. A short referencecard listing these substitutions will be provided as both a laminated card and a PDF.The script which reads and translates the keyboard is custom software written for this project. In anticipationof any future needs, a copy suitable to reflash the Pro Micro will be sent via email to the winning party at the address registeredwith .
