We love homebrew computers. And rarely does a new and interesting build manage to sneak under our radar. And so Dan Werner at home at github here has given the modern Matthias Rust, and instead of a Cessna parked his WE816 neatly past our attention directly on github.

The basis of his machine is - in contrast to many other projects of the genre - not a 65XX derivative, but the 16-bit variant 65816 from the Western Design Center. Accordingly you can expect a lot. At least as far as the address space is concerned, but also beyond that. 512K of system RAM, 96K of system ROM, 32K of video RAM, a TMS9918 graphics processor and an AY-3-8910 sound chip are waiting. Now that's something!

Dan's machine is not only very cleanly designed, but especially the case and keyboard make it a real beauty. Feel like tinkering? The complete BOM and all necessary information can be found here.
