I have asked some pretty dumb questions in my time, but this takes the cake.

I just want it to be true so much that I will ask it anyway.

Is there *any* way to take the c64 and use it in a car?  It needs, what a 
12v and a 9v power supply (or a 9 and a 5?).  Does it really *have* to be 
getting it AC?

I want to put this really neat car status display in my car and I could get
the 5" b/w monitor, but can I get the c64 to work?  I sure hope so.

I would hate to resort to using a TI or something, after all the time I spent
getting to know the c64.

Thanks again.
