  1. What’s the name of the package of those square chips and their brown sockets?

    Also why did you leave out that decoupling capacitor on the far left?

  2. about the specs!

    * WDC 65c816 CPU (seems to run fine at 20MHz, 25MHz seems to be too much)
    * WDC 65c22 “Versatile Interface Adapter” (aka VIA, for some IO and timers)
    * FTDI FT240X, 8-bit USB UART, for a simple Serial Interface over USB
    * 2x IS61C5128AL for 1MB of SRAM
    * SST39SF040 for 512kB of ROM (only ~16kB used)
    * 74′ Logic for Clock signal generation (74AC74) and Data/Address Demux-ing (74AHCT245)
    * 2x DS1813 with one used for the reset Button and the other to debounce the “NMI” Button
    * LM340T with a crappy Heat Sink to lower the DC jack input voltage to 5V
    * ATF1508 CPLD for the glue logic that holds everything together

    IO stuff:

    * USB for Serial
    * DC Barrel Jack for Power (center positive)
    * Combined PS/2 Port for both Keyboard and Mouse (requires Y Splitter to use both at once)
    * 8-bit IO Port below the PS/2 Connector for whatever i can think of
    * Expansion Connector in the center of the board for future features

    also yep, there is already a botch wire between U6 and U7 because U6 was tilted after i soldered it on so pin 1 wasn’t making contact with the pad so i had to connect it to U7.

    if you want the full history of how this was designed, here the 6502 forum thread: http://forum.6502.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7213
