Hi
It's been a while and as far as I know little has changed since 2023 but you might want to check out this link: https://github.com/chelsea6502/BeebEater/blob/main/README.md
It has no graphics and save/load but I did get this to run on Rich Cini's version of Daryl Rictor's SBC2.71, burned to a ...

My only piece of Commodore Equipment among all my 6502 equipment. Unfortunately it's not a computer.

I commend your enthusiasm. I was inspired by Ben Eater's video to resurrect my SYM-1 (from 1980). I too started on a breadboard but the finicky connections had me purchase a PCB to continue with less frustration. One way of tackling this has been given by Nick Gammon https://www.gammon.com.au/G ...

As I indicated in the B/BUF thread I have code from one of Bill Shen's (Plasmo) CRC65 boards. I have zipped up the forth asm and listing as well as my modifications for the monitor that applies for my actual read and write routines used by Fig-forth. His board uses a CF card but the sector size is ...

I am no forth or assembler expert but I was able to get FIG-forth going on a few of Plasmo's boards as well as Grant Searle's MultiComp which because they use CF or SD cards for storage have 512 byte sectors. My SSIZE=512 and NBUF=2 but I started with a FIG version from Chris Baird from the ...

Hi Garth
This may be old news to you but if you are looking at microcontrollers for your new work challenge, there is a fellow (PhenixRising) on the backshed (Australia) forum who is using Raspberry Pi Pico and MMBasic for some of his work. I enclose a link (https://www.thebackshed.com/forum ...

Thanks for the update Bill. I located some EZ1588CM although I probably paid a premium for them. I do have this board (https://www.retrobrewcomputers.org/doku.php?id=builderpages:plasmo:vgaxram:2-boards:no-ps2) but I'm not sure about the pins you used and I am concerned it might be too wide with the ...

It's been awhile since there was an update on this project. It has been moving along and there are now ports to a few new systems including the Nano20K. Since I had just purchased a Sipeed Nano9K FPGA for trying out AtomFPGA and BeebFPGA, I ordered a Tang Nano20K and used nano6502 ( https://github ...

Hi Bill Just ordered some PCB's will try this out when they arrive. Interested that this continues the VGA experiments not just another maximum speed 6502 (without the video aspect). I'm always amazed that you keep pushing to see what new things you can do with the mix of new and retro hardware.

I have been on https://www.retrobrewcomputers.org/forum/index.php to keep up where plasmo posts his designs. I have seen a number of other systems that are listed, some of whom are from people that frequent this forum. Not sure how robust the discussion is but I have things interesting to browse ...

I purchased one of the Tang Nano9K boards and have been following this thread. I am definitely not one knowledgeable to program these things but have followed the development of other people's work using Altera, as well as the Nano series. I also followed hoglet's post on the AtomFPGA and that works ...

I am about to build one (or two) of these. Let me explain as there have been some people who are perplexed by why you would do this. I have a SYM-1 and KIM-1 from about 1980. They were my first and favourites and the 6502 my best understood processor, in fact the only one I can really write in ...

Don't forget that Chelsea Wilkinson posted here (http://forum.6502.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7825) about adding BBC basic to a Ben Eater build. Here's a link to her Github https://github.com/chelsea6502/BeebEater , there hasn't been much happening for awhile. As mentioned I got this running on Rich ...

Looking forward to seeing if this migrates to the Pico-56 (at least the software side) not sure if that is possible or in the plans. For those looking at the Pico there is active development using MMBasic (https://geoffg.net/picomitevga.html) that is fun in its own right as well as exposing the ...

That's great Bill I'll give it a go. Even soldering the RAM might be a challenge but my SMD technique is improving even using a fine point iron.
