A year on, and the MOnSter6502 will have a second public outing. It runs up to 60kHz, runs as an in-circuit emulator in a hand-held computer running Basic and Forth, and it's got 100 more LEDs (the LEDs are colour coded according to the role of the signal in question.)

Video within.

I do wonder, if they make a kit, how many takers there will be. Stepping slowly through the video, I get a feeling that this will be the best micro ever for single-stepping entertainment! (Last weekend I was up close and personal with the Megaprocessor, but that's just not ergonomic!)

People with a one bedroom apartment may have a problem there, yes.

Could attach it to the ceiling, lay in bed and watch it do its thing. :D
x86?  We ain't got no x86.  We don't NEED no stinking x86!
