How did I get into this? It started when I saw the simulation of the 6502 processor from the Visual6502 team [1]. It was very cool, but totally mysterious. I realized that even though I was a programmer and understood the "full stack", I had no idea how a processor chip actually worked. (I'd taken computer architecture courses but there's still a big jump to physical transistors on a chip.) I started looking at the 6502's circuits and one thing led to another and here I am today, reverse-engineering obscure chips with a microscope :-) [1] http://www.visual6502.org/JSSim/index.html http://www.visual6502.org/JSSim/index.html
