BTW: maybe it's a bit too early now, but when is the exact time and date to celebrate the 20 years anniversary of 6502.org ?
According to the WHOIS record, I first registered the domain in April 1999. However, I think we should celebrate the 20th anniversary in October 2019. Although the site was online a short time before then, I announced it on several 6502-related newsgroups such as comp.sys.cbm on October 7, 1999. When I made the announcement, it was underway and had the familiar sections we know today like
Homebuilt Projects and the
Datasheets.
Like all of you, I'm still interested in the 6502 after all these years. Most of my work on the site in the last few years has been in the
Documents Archive. I continue to scan datasheets as always but now I also scan newsletters and magazines with 6502 content. You can follow the additions on the
News page. I'm still working on 6502-related projects as well. Most recently, I found a 6502 hidden in a
car radio. It uses a Mitsubishi 740 series microcontroller (
M38869FFAHP), whose instruction set is a 6502 superset. I wrote a
disassembler for it and spent some time reverse engineering the
radio's firmware. The Mitsubishi parts have some interesting features and have been mentioned here before.
Thank you to everyone who continues to use the 6502.org website and participate in the forum. Often when I look for some piece of information, I find on it 6502.org somewhere. That is exactly why I created the site but it only works because of your contributions. I also need to specifically thank Garth Wilson and Ed Spittles, who have both been working with me behind the scenes for years to moderate the forum (fighting spammers) and keep the site's content updated.
