   The ASIC-based C64 DTV was released in 2004, and I think was the first
   mass market one. People from that project are also doing this one.

   Before then the C-One sort of existed, which was an early FPGA
   reconfigurable computer that had stock & extended C64 cores of some form
   available, and was probably attributable as the origin of the concept. The
   creator of that was contracted to create the hardware for the DTV.

   These days, FPGA boxes like the MIST and Super NT are much more accessible
   than they were back then. The Turbo Chameleon 64 is also a notable and
   interesting device, as an expansion cart for the 64 which also can run
   standalone as a fully independent C64 system, on a FPGA. It's more recent,
   though, circa 2013 or so.
