After I got mine hands on some Homebrew Z80 system, and watching some famous videos about 6502 I understood that I want to build my own thing.
The decision to make something based on 68000 came from unrealised childhood desire to get Sega Mega Drive system.
I want to go step by step, not focusing on particular "retro" feeling (still will try to avoid FPGA/full microcontrollers in the build).
So initial build iterations I aiming are following:
- Get free running 68000
- Wire up CPU + ROM
- Add UART for communications with outside world
- Add RAM
- to be continued...
My electronics experience is ending somewhere around Arduino with blinking LED, so I expect this project will be slow moving, depending on free time for reading books and fiddling with chips.
Stay tuned!
