The W65C265S is a delightful chip, and I highly encourage anyone curious about playing with 8-bit (/16-bit)processors to pick up board like the ...SXB mentioned here. I do wish that WDC's tools were more open and less Windows-specific, but the chip can easily run 65C02/65C816 code output from any of the open tools, and it's (mostly) well-documented. I hope that educational institutions are also using WDC's chips/boards, to help make sure that they stay around for years to come. I do wish that I could easily get my hands on a Mensch Computer.
