Re: Semi-OT: wiby.me a search engine for old-school websites

It's probably been mentioned before, but there are text-only browsers in the *nix world. Two that come to mind are lynx and links. Maybe neither of these are of any use for the aforementioned homebuilt projects, but might be worth investigating. I use links only occasionally but, it seems to render ...

Re: Starting out


Well, given that, I’d say if you are intent on learning the 6502 assembly language, you should start with a simulator. My recommendation would be the Kowalski simulator , which includes a source code editor and macro assembler, and is something that is used by several of us here, including me. The ...

Re: Starting out

Start with the 6502 primer . I recommend going through the whole thing, as it was written to answer the questions and problems that kept coming up over and over on this forum in its early years. It gets frequent updates. It's in 22 logically organized chapters.

Re: Introduce yourself

I got my first computer in the late 80s or maybe early 90s. A family member was upgrading to a new system and I managed to get the one they were replacing. I'm fairly certain it was a Laser Compact XT. No hard disk and a single 5.25" floppy drive. With it came several disks. I don't recall if it ...
