About the Io card PCB
Io card is an open source PCB design by nojan1, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 230 × 100 mm, with 61 components from 37 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the W65C22SxP, 74HCT14, NE555P, 74HCT00 and 74HCT595. By type, the board carries 17 capacitors, 14 ICs, 13 jumpers, 9 connectors, 7 resistors and 1 diode.
From the project
The purpose of Project Wrass is to develop the Wrass 1.
The purpose of Project Wrass is to develop the Wrass 1.
A 6502 based computer having the following specs.
W65C02 running at 2Mhz Bankable RAM giving a total of approx 300KB of usable memory * Expansion bus for up to 16 devices
The 16KB ROM is bankable using an external switch. This allows the computer to run "2 sets" of software.
The existing one is a simple homebrew "monitor" giving access to simple read, write and jump commands.
