I don't think many people wants to have a C64 in their PC. Unless
you want to waste your money, i see no use for it. 

Why doesn't your dad connect the original C64 to a PC using the serial
ports on both machines. I have this working between my ATARI-ST and 
the C128, and it works just fine. Both machines have their favourites,
so lets keep it this way.
