Hello,

I'm 39 years old, I Love programming on 65c816 and 6502, and I would make my "homebrew computer" based on 65c816

I don't know much about electronics/hardware but programming in ASM is my passion

Hi!

Welcome! You've come to the right place. :)
I started building my homebrew single-board computers just few months ago, and thanks to all the collective knowledge & support in this community I've already built over half dozen working prototypes.

Ah-ha!  A fellow 65C816 enthusiast!  Welcome aboard.

Hi all, thanks for all the interesting discussion - have been lurking for a while!

I'm Patrick, grew up in Canada, currently in Montreal and before that Boston and Edinburgh.

As a kid I had an apple //e and dabbled a little with assembly code but hadn't really thought about 6502 again until covid came along. I ended up playing with some 6502 disassembly (py65 being indispensable, thanks Mike!) and have recently been writing a slow 6502 forth. Now tempted to do one of the 6502 sbc builds but haven't quite decided what the right goal is

I mostly work on data science stuff and very sporadically update a blog here https://patricksurry.github.io

Hello,

I'm 31 years old, not a native English speaker i still learning, my background in chemistry, but i switch to IT from 2017 to 2019, i'm actually still try some codes on Micro-Python, it still new on Pi Pico, but i like as a hobby to try to communicate that device to an old chip for read and write data like the EPROM 93c46 which it's use Microwire (3-wire) communication protocole

Howdy y'all! Quick intro, I'm a 39 year old self-taught web developer from the Midwest. I'd always been interested in learning lower level programming than the JS I use in work, and but after watching too much retro/homebrew computer YouTubers (8-Bit Guy, Ben Eater, George Foot, James Sharman, and many more), I've started working on learning Assembly, as well as electronics. I've actually started designing my own series of 6502 and 65816 based computers, complete with custom graphics, sound, and i/o hardware, OSes, and software. I'm expecting that what I don't know that I don't know will be a major hurdle in these ambitions, but I'm looking forward to the journey!

Ah, yes! It's good to know that you know the importance of what you don't know that you don't know.

If only more people knew... :wink: :mrgreen:

In 1988 my 65C02 got six new registers and 44 new full-speed instructions!

Thanks for the welcomes!

@barnacle absolutely! I figure big goals means lots of room to learn.
@Dr Jefyll Oh yeah; I've learned (frequently and painfully, but ultimately valuably) in teaching myself web dev that what one doesn't know is massive, and that ignorance has the biggest potential to bite one in the backside!

My apologies for delay in my introduction message..

I'm a 70 years old electronic engineer, just retired ; I start my activity in late 1976 and my first contact with 6502 was with MOS technology KIM1 and in '77 with Commodore 2001.
Here some infos about my company, now totally in charge of my son Riccardo : https://www.nemesis.it/en/about-us/41/companys-history
In 46 years of applications I never lose my passion for "Big Jim 6502" , also if in a lot of project I had used and programmed 80XXX series up to 32 bit , ARM processor and a lot of AVR chips.
6502 assembler is my first and unforgettable love and now I have time to indagate some unresolved question
Nice to know this fantastic group of tech lovers !
maurizio
