A project log for ABN6502 SBC R1

Saving the planet, one obsolete chip at a time

I'm overwhelmed with all the positive responses to my new hardware overview video. Thank you all!

In the near term I'm focusing my efforts on making a tape deck interface, letting me save data on reel to reel tape - the way I'm sure Chuck Peddle intended it! :D The big question here is if I can make something that will make sense as a permanent part of the SBC, or an audio data interface will remain an external add-on. 

Of course this wouldn't be limited to 1970's tape but should work fine with the audio jack on your modern laptop. I'll have to test both.

When that's done I will probably focus my efforts on porting one of the MS Basic versions - I'm sure it'll be glorious! 

When that's running I might decide to grab an old laptop screen and see if I can make the world's - probably - first 6502 cyberdeck!
