Another 6502 SBC

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/7Sufp7Ob3DI

There are quite some 6502 based single board computers, that can be found online. Anders Nielsen has decided to built an equally beautiful example of such a SBC, but comes from a slightly different corner: Sustainability & Reuse. 👏

Is it possible to build a functional and usable general purpose computer from old parts despite supply chain issues? Of course! The result is not only cheap, it's surprising what you can achieve with almost 50 year old technology - provided you have the right peripherals. Details about the hardware are presented by Anders in his short video.

His Hackaday project instead fully documents his build, and besides VGA output, USB input and lots of GPIO pins, Anders also mounts a wireless transceiver, to be able to supply the flash with new software over the air.

Complete, competent and relaxed presentation. Great project.
