Fun fact, you can still buy new 6502 hardware from William Mensch's company. The elegance and simplicity of the core makes it virtually embedded computing "dust" in almost everything we use.

- LIV2 7y agoFor those who want to build a new system around the 65C02 there's plenty of information to get you started here: http://wilsonminesco.com/6502primer/potpourri.html http://wilsonminesco.com/6502primer/potpourri.html A bunch of people are still building new systems with modern twists, fixing old ones and writing software. forum.6502.org has been an invaluable resource for me building my own machine
- tpmx 7y agoThank you so much for this! This guy's site is a goldmine. Going up one level on that site: http://wilsonminesco.com/6502primer/ http://wilsonminesco.com/6502primer/ I've been fiddling with a 65C02 over the past month. This is exactly the kind of information resource I've been looking for!
