From the project

A 6502 Backplane design.

Inspired by the Z80-Retro! see: https://github.com/z80-retro I decided to see if I could put together a small 6502 based project with a similar design philosphy. The main goals of the project are:

1. The base board must be no larger than 100mm x 100mm to leverage the cheaper manufacturing options. 2. The base board must provide all required functionality to be minimially operational. 3. Daughter boards will provide additional peripherals such as Graphics and Audio
