Survey of '816 systems... (65816 / 65C816)

In another thread I mooted a separate thread to maybe find out just how many 65816 systems there are, so I'll start with what I know:
Older, commercial systems:
- Acorn Communicator - 1985
- Apple IIgs - 1986
- Super Nintendo entertainment System (SNES) 1990
Modern ones in no particular order:
- BDD's PoC - under development.
- Gordon/Drogon's Ruby 816
- Neon 816 - dead end
- Foenix - various versions - several made and sold, project moving onto other CPUs
And what else? Please add, update, correct mistakes, etc.

Good start... as I'm mostly unaware of the '816 systems.
However, would the WDC W65C816SXB being currently sold count as an '816 system?

UltraWarp is an accelerator card plugs into Apple II

I'll add my projects:
- a 6502 replacement/accelerator card
http://www.6502.org/users/andre/pet816/index.html
- my CS/A computer with a 65816 CPU card
http://www.6502.org/users/andre/csa/cpu816v2/index.html
- the MicroPET Commodore PET replica
http://www.6502.org/users/andre/upet/index.html
An older commercial system famous in the Commodore community is the SuperCPU, a 20MHz accelerator for the C64.

Other 65C816 units:
My POC V1 series now consists of four working units: V1.0, V1.1, V1.2 (first one to reach 20 MHz) and V1.3. Hardware design in all of them is stable at this point, so technically none is under development. No further design work on the V1 series is planned.
POC V2.0 is awaiting final assembly, testing and debugging, so it would qualify as "under development."

Nice thread!
I would mention
Beeb816, an in-socket upgrade for the BBC Micro and other Acorn machines, not entirely unlike the idea behind SuperCPU and UltraWarp already mentioned, and
perhaps the Transwarp with '802 upgrade.
Another work-in-progress is Dominic Beesley's
blitter project which has all sorts of possibilities including a 65816 running BBC Basic.

I'm working on one as well:
https://github.com/jmstein7/soft_65c816 ... oC_23LC512
Jonathan
Code: Select all
This project comprises a 65c816 Soft Core SoC with Serial SRAM Driver (23LC512) and XMODEM Bootloader to load your programs into RAM from a PC via a terminal program. The target here is a Xilinx Arty A7, using a soft 65c816 core, with block memory for the RAM and ROM, though the design has an additional 64k of serial SRAM mapped from 0x10000-0x20000.

I also have an '816 project in the works.

Funnily enough, it works for me - thanks for sharing, Dan!

Bitbucket require you to accept cookies, turn off adblockers and jump through various other shenanigans just to see their advert ridden content. That's the price to pay for free hosting these days.
I get a blank page in my regular browser, but see it just fine with a sandboxed browser allowing all cookies by default, adverts allowed, canvas data extraction, selling my soul and everything else.
