     That time frame may be a bit short. Unless there is some rush, why not
shoot for the end of July? This would allow time for more 6502 programmers to
find out about the contest and get involved.

     Every once in a while Apple II users do 6502 programming.

     Microtan looks like a cute idea.

     Writing a program for it could be fun; but, at present, the emulator
mentioned at http://oric.ifrance.com/oric/microtan/microtan2000.html does not
seem to be available. You get a 'Document does not exist' message when you
click on the emu link.
