From the project

A Versitile 6502 Based Microcomputer

The Versatile Micro Computer (VMC for short) is a 6502 platform designed to be Powerful, expandable, and versatile

The VMC was designed as a project to express everything I have leared in electrical engineering, and as a way to learn more concepts in electrical engineering, computer engineering and computer science
