We all know that the C128 has the C64 built in, and the actual startup system is run by the Z80 in it. But I wonder...
If it has a C64 mode, is it possible, or even feasible to consider adding additional modes, such as the C16 and VIC-20 modes to it?
It's nothing I'm willing to undertake until I have enough duplicate systems to even attempt it (right now I only have one of each). But I'm curious if it's a possibility. I think it would be rather interesting to have all the entire series in one box.
Any thoughts on this? Or is it a pipe dream?
Keep in mind I'm only thinking about software and minor hardware compatibility (floppy, tape, modem, etc) not cartridges and other system-specific hindrances.
