MOnSter 6502 creator here for any questions...

At the first day on my first professional programming job in 1980 or so, my new manager told me that I would be writing a brand-new 6502 macro assembler, in 6502 assembly language, to replace the slow & limited one supplied by the vendor (Ohio Scientific).

Under his guidance I wrote the assembler, and even earned a raise after simulating the hashing function in FORTRAN and finding it lacking.

I still have very fond memories of that job and of the 6502, and would be interested in purchasing a replica as soon as you go into production!

Are you nuts enough to abandon transistor-level compatibility and do a BJT design?
Such a beautiful board! Now do an 8080 :-)
I'd rather an 1802 or 6809.
Any chance this will be commercially available either as a kit, a finished product or just the breadboard?
