hi everyone
i've been learning assembly language for a few weeks, and felt most comfortable doing it on an apple // well, and emulated apple // .i dont' have any money to buy a real one..specially not on ebay collectors are grabbing them ..neways..i was on the makezine site. www.makezine.com. and there was a post there about a new 6502 computer that hooks up to your tv and uses it as a monitor..sound familiar?? although its based on the famicom computer, i just saw it and was reminded of when pc's were first introduced. the computer is dubbed the "$10 computer", and the orginization behind it is a group called playpower, which is also developing a dev kit for it. this project is also open source.
i found this really exciting since i've really been reading tons of computer history books and anything about the apple //. and just wanted to share it with everyone. below are a few links:
