    I forwarded to Brian the following questions from another user --   
      
   * does he have a prototype created yet?   
      
   * has he found a manufacturing company and gotten a ballpark estimate   
   for the project   
      
   * is he recreating or enhancing the keyboard?   
      
   * does GoFundMe also have a tier level like Kickstarter (i.e. throw in   
   $100 and you get a keyboard, $165 for two keyboards)   
      
   * has he matched the color of an original keyboard to a modern day color   
   for production, are there other colors available (sacrilegious!)   
      
   * what does $15K get the community? it's not clear, does the project   
   result in an open source product or just some cash for him?   
      
   * does the keyboard have enhancements like processing onboard via an   
   ardurino/RPI CM/PLA which then allow its use as a USB device for   
   PCs/Macs/or ideally other old retro platforms (VIC-20/C-64/Amiga/TI99 4A/ST)   
      
   * how will this work with a non-US C128D?, that will need slightly   
   different keycaps, where are the translations/lanuages for the keyboard   
   - in ROM?   
      
   No reply from Brian yet,
