My homemade, hand-wired 6502 machine, presented in honor of #ChuckPeddleDay. 32K RAM, 16K ROM, 6850 ACIA, running at 921 kHz. It has the Apple 1 WozMon for a monitor, plus 4 BASICs, FOCAL, and Tiny PILOT for high-level programming.

It‘s #ChuckPeddleDay !
Charles Ingerham „Chuck“ Peddle would habe turned 88 today.
La Universidad de Main debería darle un mejor crédito a #chuckpeddle, ya que gracias a él, existe el procesador MOS 6502, el ordenador KIM-1 y la Commodore PET que dieron inicio a la era del PC.

Il y a 88 ans, le 25 novembre 1937, naquit Chuck Peddle, ingénieur américain. Il sera connu pour avoir cofondé MOS Technology et mis au point la famille de microprocesseurs 65xx, notamment le MOS 6502 #LaPetiteInfoDuJour

For #ChuckPeddleDay, I added an option to load the Oric Atmos ROM (1.1B that is) to the Virtual 6502 online emulator.

The office nerds held a special "show and tell" in honor of #ChuckPeddleDay. Chuck designed the 6502 CPU that made so many home computers possible and led to the microcomputer revolution of the 1980s.

The KIM-1 was Commodore’s first big hit 🚀. If you want to learn more about it and the revolution it started 💡, you can read about it in this book 📘:

The KIM-1 was a single board computer with a keypad and six LED displays designed to highlight the power of the then-new 6502 CPU designed by Chuck Peddle and team at MOS.

It took some time to finally publish this program for the KIM-1 and today is a good day for it. Udo Juerss is the author.

My #65o2 Project right now:
Translating a KIM-1 game into german:
@fishhack66.bsky.social ported the game "Santa Paravia" (1978) to KIM-1 BASIC. And I'm translating it into german.
Show your 6502 Projects, because it's #ChuckPeddleDay
🎂Happy Birthday Chuck🎈, wherever you are!

Today is #ChuckPeddleDay – a celebration of the brilliant mind behind the 6502!
So dig out your 6502 computers, power them up, dust them off, or just show them with pride.
Whether it’s a Commodore, Apple, Atari, BBC Micro or any homebrew project – today we honor the chip that started it all. 🚀🖥️✨

The KIM-1 got its name from Keyboard Input Monitor. It was designed as a 6502 development system but became a cult computer in its own right. It was first released in 1976 for about $245.

Learning 6502 programming is still a valid way to hone your low-level coding skills. The 6502 is perhaps one of the earliest RISC CPUs, so you could trace the path from it to the Arm CPUs in just about everything today.

cott Lombard started many years ago on a replica of the Jolt. Quite a challenge, since only photos are known of the Jolt.

He succeeded in finishing a working replica
