Hello to all 6502 fans,
Daryl on http://www.6502.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=4 has developed a
(hopefully) plug&play replacement module for your 6502 (have a read of the
"Replacing a 6502 with a 65816" thread).
On the size of a 40-pin DIP 6502, his proposed PCB offers room to a QFP
65816 processor and additional logic to remove hardware differences between
the 6502 and the 65816.
Daryl is trying to organize a bulk order to ExpressPCB (www.expresspcb.com),
in order to lower the price of the prototype boards.
I know that there are other options to insert a 16-bit processor in your
favorite comp, but this PCB might be of interest to you if you don't want to
solder wires inside your micro...
Ah, Daryl wants to say this is an untested-yet board (this order will allow
the first build), so please have a look at his schematics before applying (I
do have tested a very close schematics in two different Oric systems, by
using a so much bigger prototype I couldn't close the Oric case)...
Thanks for your attention,
Fabrice
