I get it that you want to exhibit these, but the other 364 days a year you
should have a server set up running VICE to allow anyone to log in and
use/test/debug remotely from a networked C64, without needing to have
obviously difficult to support vintage hardware up and running all of the
time.  My 15 cents (inflation).
