Not a replacement for the 6502. But definately awesome. Since there is no offtopic topic, i just decided to announce it here.

Ok, maybe it's a replacement for a 6502. It's way cool.

I do not see this as a 6502/65816 replacement. I do see it as a cool peripheral to hang off the 65816's bus though.

It's really cool.

However,I am afraid it will also be a bit expensive for Amateurs.

Nah.

From what I understand the target price is $20. It's worth every penny. You folks in China might be screwed, though. Sorry.

Love,

I really wonder how you "understand the target price is $20"

Have you checked the price on their website?

They claim clearly:

Judo chop.

Read the forums. Then wonder.

I was just looking through the latest issue of Electronic Design magazine and they have an article on the Propeller.
And they've got it online, so here's a link.
