From the project
PCB for a 6502 Based Computer
A custom 6502-based single-board computer combining classic through-hole components with modern SMD electronics.
Inspired by videos from Ben Eater, this project was designed as a compact retro computer built entirely from new components. The board combines DIP-package IC and sockets with modern SMD components, and breakouts for I/O and Serial communication.
System power is supplied either through a 5V barrel jack, screw terminals, or the USB-C conenctor. Program ROM may be installed in a ZIF socket allowing for easy removal and programming.
