Adapting WozMon

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/7M8LvMtdcgY

A few weeks ago, Ben Eater, aka @ben_eater, ported Steve Wozniak's WozMon for the Apple I to his BE6502. The details of this were showcased in a complete video on the topic.

However, the subject of input and output was missing. While the Apple I had its own hardware for this purpose, Ben's machine comes with a serial UART interface, enabling connection via a serial terminal from a modern computer.

In his latest video, Ben delves into this implementation, walking us through the necessary changes instruction by instruction.

It's fascinating to see how simple yet complex hardware was over 40 years ago. Must see!
