The chip shortage is upon us - nothing can fix that for now. So let's build a vintage style computer from parts that are available - and as little of them as possible. Impossible ? OpenSource ? Update 3: - Updated hardware arrived - tests out good - Initial working version of the X16 ROM for the Commander X16 Source files are available here: (but the repos may lag behind) https://github.com/dherrendoerfer/bad6502 Hardware (PCB) files: https://easyeda.com/dherrendoerfer/bad6502 The Commander X16 project: https://www.commanderx16.com/ About the bad6502: Presenting the bad6502, the 35 Dollar 6502 based computer that has needs no chips. Features (subject to change): - HDMI - USB keyboard - Wifi, Bluetooth - 1+ MHz WDC65C02 - Embedded development platform Ok, honestly: ... its a 65C02 with emulated hardware on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. But it's cheap and fun and available now. Still fiddling with the hard and software a lot. More soon !
