  I don't know about people at Commodore, but a fellow who livs in Bahrain is
currently trying to put an A500 into an SX-64 box (for those that are
unfamiliar with it, an SX-64 is a portable 64, with 5" colour screen and space
for a couple of 5 1/4" floppy drives). He says it is coming along fine. He has
found a nice little 5" JVC monitor that can display 80 column text readably in
composite mode, can be hacked to do analog RGB, and is now searching for the
ideal HD solution.

  In addition, a fellow in LA is looking at the possibility of putting the same
setup into the case of an Osborne 1.

  Maybe Adam Osborne gave up too soon. :-)
