Selections from The Personal Computer Handbook by Peter Rodwell (1983)
Some of my thoughts while reading:
- I forgot how old ASCII is
- MOS 6502 my beloved (with 8086 jumpscare)
- That one page I misread as "Computer Erotica"
- Program listings printed on dot matrix and scanned as images for publication, because that was the best option - normal in magazines, a suprise in a hardcover book
- CP/M being a more noteworthy OS than something called MS-DOS

Mistigram: @blippypixel pays tribute here to the #MOSTechnology6502 processor used in the #BBCMicro home computer in this high resolution graphics animation loop. (Many other historically critical machines by Atari, Apple, Nintendo and Commodore, relied on the 6502 -- which over nearly a half-century has been manufactured in quantities approaching six billion.)
This composition of course also incorporates an homage to the #Monolith in Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was included in the new MIST1121 artpack collection.

Zolatron 64: Writing an OS for a 6502 homebrew computer
Zolatron 64: Writing an OS for a #6502 #homebrew computer
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I have no idea how you write an operating system. Even though I’ve sort-of written one.
The Zolatron 64 6502 homebrew computer project started as idle curiosity that just got out of hand. I figured I’d be happy if I could get as far as writing ‘Hello world’ to an LCD display. But things then snowballed.
All of my early code was what you might describe…

Setting a goal for myself
I want to have a working 6502-based computer by the end of the year that I made. Not looking for something fancy at this point in time
Requirements:
1. Custom board I designed (how I made it matters not)
2. PS/2 keyboard support
3. Screen more advanced than a 16x2 character screen
I have the parts and know-how, and I even have a basic 6502 Kit to work with, I just need to get myself to focus on this for more than 30 minutes a week (I wish my ADHD was still medicated).
My end goal, I wanna have a little portable 6502 that works similar to a C64 that I designed myself. But with my attention level that is NOT acheviable any time soon 😔 But I'm confident in setting this more simple goal! I just need to be able to actually focus, and if I make my goals public then it'll be harder for me to back out (:
