It is standalone. Like RaspberryPI but will have bus (uext) so will be possible to connect it to Atari for example. Or smart home etc. My idea is to use it as cheap turbocard(16mhz 6502, 256kb ram, 2mb flash for firmware/os, or graphics card 640 x 480 x lot of colors(depends on video ram)).
So like 30euro + 10euro cartridge adapter or so.
Graphics card can be good for text/coding apps or maps inside game or hires pixelart. There can be game using Atari 160x200x4 or more colors and on 640 x 480 will be for example map and items (mmo or adventure or zelda like game or dune2 like game). Or so.
It can be interesting. It will stay 8bit 6502. It will stay as upgrade.

But is standalone computer. So maybe Atari remakes on it too can be possible. He sold 1000 Z80 AgonLight2. So lot of peolple.

Bulgarian Olimex manufacturer of ARM singleboard computers similar to RaspberryPi also AgonLight2 Z80 hobby computer is developing 30Euro 6502 computer called NEO6502.
He want use RP2040 for graphics, sound and i/o key/mouse and disk.

Here is blog:
https://olimex.wordpress.com/2023/04/21 … r-project/

Here is how AgonLight2(z80) looks like:
https://www.olimex.com/Products/Retro-Computers/BOX-AGONLIGHT2-BLACK/images/BOX-AGONLIGHT2-4.jpg

Website:
https://www.olimex.com/

Some specs:
- real 6502 processor.
- 264kb RAM on RP2040.
- W65C02 from WDC can be overclocked up to 16Mhz also slow mode 1-2mhz
- DVI/HDMI so that you can connect it to your home TV or modern monitor.
- support for a modern USB keyboard
- PSG sound synthesizer like the popular C64 SID
- the power supply should be via a USB-C
- UEXT connector with modern interfaces like UART, I2C, SPI.
- disk storage for code.
- the 6502 bus should be available on a slot/connector(cartridge) so that additional hardware can be easily added on
- 2MB of external SPI flash to hold the firmware (firmware/OS/BASIC)

Maybe we can suggest/modding RP2040 firmware:
- use pokey instead of SID (or external UEXT card)
- use ANTIC/GTIA or VBXE type of emulation (or external UEXT)
- somehow port Altirra or ATARI OS/BASIC to boot from flash
- 2x ATARI joystick
To have 14mhz 30Euro hybrid ATARI/NEO6502
Or we can just port games from ATARI 800.
Or connect it to cartridge port use as turbocard/graphics card.

Also will make RADcompo (ATARI XL/XE FM or also PC MS-DOS/WINDOWS RAD tracker) every summer and winter.
And support on Forever, Silly Venture etc. As on MSX have YM + FM compos.
Maybe in future will find another original original and cheap opl3+yac dacs so maybe another after late summer autumn winter or so and AngelX or TORI or both will help with carts.
If guys from GMG will not want want give one for free to musician/code best will be musician that code. To make for example
POKEY+FM (rmt+rad) player or game sound engine (Pokey for FX + FM for tune) even maybe native PokeyFM tracker in far future.
Or some intro/demo using FM.

Hello friends.
There is new 190euro 65c02/65c816 system by Foenix.
https://i.ibb.co/WBhKqpD/F256-Jr-Specs-One-Sheeter-1583x2048.png
Maybe good for port some games. Also maybe instead of Vicky graphics chip (FPGA) we can adapt VBXEcore and instead Texas Instruments SN PSG in FPGA have Pokey too - so it will be Atari/F256jr hybrid. And in Flash modded AltirraBasic/Atari ROM. So porting games software will be more easily. I know there is Eclaire FPGA. But this is nice too(real cpu). Just my idea. Original F256jr looks good too.

Zamenim / exchange Thomson MO5 za Amstrad CPC 464 model green keys.
Thomson MO5 is upgraded with SD-Card interface also motherboard is upgraded (fdd disk).

Photos:

https://ibb.co/b3zMYsF
https://ibb.co/KKMsJwm
https://ibb.co/G5kCR7L

Its version with mechanical keyboard.

Why? I have PlayCity (soundcard) and want try ArkosTracker2 (9 channels YM). And playback on real hardware.
MO5 is amazing computer from France like A800 XE/XL with Motorola 6809 (very nice cpu) nice graphics 320 x 200 x 8 from 16, 16kb vram, 48kb ram.

There is cool site:
http://dcmoto.free.fr
He is selling also HW author of this site.

PSG SN76489AN and FM OPL soundcards are under development:
https://github.com/dinoflorenzi/THOMSON-MO-TO-SOUNDCARD

Also few demos:

https://16couleurs.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/poiscmo5.gif

I want this CPC 464:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/Amstrad_CPC464.jpg

But without monitor. There is on Allegro too. Best will be if you will be gfx artist or coder, hw geek, musician etc and support Thomson scene.

I have 2x MO6 its same but with 128kb ram. So want exchange.

I had Turbo Pascal (only programming language I know, I had it on highschool and on basic school too). I was good in it. Made very simple maze game, 2d demo, few intros too as kid. And I want start again in Pascal. Also want do simple stuff like musicdisk or demomag or picture slideshow etc.
Here I will document my MAD Pascal steps. Also will ask if I will need help. Maybe it will be useful for others. Using Turbo Basic or ASM, Action.

65c816 - Data width 8 (external) 16 (internal) Address width 24.
To jest processor spectacular :).
That Apple2GS / Snes demos was just little inspiration. What we can have with VBXE/SimpleStereo4/I like 65c816 Rapidus as I own Apple2 GS and PC-Engine(6502 but 16bit gpu best "8bit" console). BTW the current version from WDC, the W65C02S-14 has a fully static core and officially runs at speeds up to 14 MHz (so possible to keep 8bit but like Witcher by 7bit turbocard on Amiga using overclocked 68000 to 50mhz). So maybe low cost cheaper 8bit "Mini Rapidus" or on cartridge is possible too to stay 8bit same but more powerful. On other hand I think there is space for 64kb, Atari XE/XL, stereo demos too with using fast sd-card loading lot of parts or cartridge and with nice design, style. On Forever party I was watching lot of 64kb C64 demos (only very few guys had like 128kb C128 or C64 512kb expansions so almost all demos used standard c64) but demos was OK some very nice. Not so good as on Atari I mean no 3Ds and more complex effects. But nice pixelart, design, rotator etc. So there is also space for 64kb Ataris too or 256kb. But as for future I want see also demos, games using upgrades too. As on Falcon with turbocard.

@pancio - Yes Ensoniq 5503 is good soundchip. Something as simple Gravis or SoundBoard on SimpleStereo4.

@Sikor - Nice. Will be there. Hope world will be OK until that party.

Another 65c816 demo for Snes (maybe You know it some of you) -
