    I have had the Ultimate 64 since 2019, at first it ran one of my BBS'. Now I have a piCMD hooked up to it, I am using it to create the BBS on a Stick for the pICMD. That should be out in a few weeks. If I were to put up a BBS on real hardware I would use it to do it. Between Turbo Mode built in Turbo232 and now the piCMD it would be great. I am not going to buy the new incarnation of it though, there is no reason to, with all of the stuff coming out for regular 64's it's not worth it. I can take a regular 64, put a cartridge port extender on it, put a Turbo232 on that extender put a piSCPU and the piCMD on it and run a BBS at 20mhz, with a CMD HD for around $120!
    A lot cheaper then the $299 plus price tag...

    Who has one?

    Yo!

    ...what would be the primary use for it? Gaming? BBSing? Programming?

    Programming, graphics/sound editing. Gaming I don't care about and I do most of my BBSing from work...like now. :)

    I got the basic breadbin a while ago. I picked it up for nostalgia, more than anything. It's a toy for me so far, my kid is pretty hooked on Space Taxi, but is pretty unimpressed by the rest of the offerings.
