6502.org

Here's the roundup of our posts for January, and probably the first instalment of our very last quarterly summary thread of our weekly posts, due to the impending closure of G+. We might well republish our archives somewhere under 6502.org - Mike has kindly offered to host a minisite - but that could take a bit of time. Meanwhile we'll try to arrange that not too many of the links to our posts break. You can start here for an archived version of these summary threads. Or here for a lucky dip.

Comments welcome on this thread! Check the original posts on gplus for comments too. (See also our previous roundups).

2019-01-04 - the 20MHz all-TTL 6502 rebuild by Drass



2019-01-13 - a 6502 emulator's unsafe coding of ROM mapping behind a security flaw on the Linux desktop



2019-01-20 - from 1981, the MTU-130, with an extraordinary 18 bit address space



2019-01-27 - a mini-demo of the mini-assembler found inside Woz' monitor inside Apple II Integer Basic



(Sadly our G+ profile page is now only available as an archive, and this view is now a dead link.)

Here's the roundup of our posts for February, the next to final summary of our weekly posts, due to the impending closure of G+.

2019-02-01 - a NES emulation in Emacs (!?!) and therefore a 6502 emulator in Lisp, in 1k lines, nearly.


2019-02-10 - Acorn's Atom gets HDMI output and shows it really has 12 colours including three shades of orange.



2019-02-17 - Minitel services were run on Apple II machines, software recovered from 30 year old floppies



2019-02-22 - a 64 byte C64 demo, explained

Nice stuff

Thank you, BigEd !

Cheers!

Here, finally, the roundup of our posts for March, the final summary of our weekly posts, due to the imminent closure of G+.

2019-03-01 - C64 emulated on a Teensy board - that's an ARM-based microcontroller with 256k RAM running at 180MHz on a DIL-format PCB. Project by Frank Bösing



2019-03-08 - 'emard' has forked Grant Searle's FPGA work on the UK101 to create an Orao implementation, running on their own ULX2S, a DIL-format Lattice dev board using an XP2 FPGA



2019-03-15 - the ALPHA 1 from MCS in Germany. It's like a KIM-1, but much more so. We link here to Hans Otten's page



2019-03-22 - an SVG renderer by Kevin Savetz, written in Turbo Basic XL for the Atari 8 bit line



2019-03-29 - SIM8800 - An Altair Emulator for Apple II by Charles Mangin



2019-03-29 - our final post on G+. Thanks for all your comments, plusses and reshares over the years. As a fade-out we'll just watch Mike Kohn's Apple-II robot do its thing, programmed in Basic

It's a shame this is going away, this has been a fun thread, and I appreciate you maintaining it all this time BigEd.

Thanks! It's been good to be able to reach so many people with a shared interest, although sometimes a weekly deadline is a bit of a drag. Before André started the page on G+, I was in the habit of posting "interesting" findings from time to time. I might or might not go back to doing that. As it turns out, I see no easy way to find them or index them. Some of my posts are about projects, or questions, but some of them were findings, the sorts of things I've been posting to the mos6502 page on G+.

Second that. Although I've not been a G+ member, I certainly enjoyed following that thread/blog. The breadth of material posted always had something to interest me, and I'm many others.
