My first SBC is finally alive!

Some of the regulars here might remember me...I started designing and building my first 6502-based board back around 2004. And because of any number of things (mostly life events), I never got it finished.
Thankfully, things are better now.
I finally bought an oscilloscope about a month ago and started building up the breadboard again. A scope is an invaluable tool...I never would have been able to debug without it! I've learned a lot, both on my own and from the people I've spoken to on these forums. It was quite an amazing feeling to finally get characters echoed back to me after I typed them in the terminal.
Just wanted to thank everyone for helping and pointing me in the right direction. I would have had that much more trouble without you.
Next I'll go about testing my RAM chips, and then work on getting a cc65 target completed. After that I'll start working on an IDE interface and enough code to start a simple OS. I will be around here more often again, probably asking more questions...but hopefully I can give back too.
