RE[3]: Final product packaging
Deft - do you guys have plans for a BASIC/programming manual in similar style to what Commodore has shipped with every single 8-bit computer? *cough*ringbinder*cough*assembler*cough*

Hey Deft, in the manual can you show the power of poking, peeking in BASIC when it comes to do internet and other cool stuff. Also assembler examples and information is very powerful and useful too!...

I second this. Status updates more often would be good - eventually with a roadmap or a to do list.

A version of GEOS made to take full advantage of the enhanced palette, screen resolution and speed could be cool. Maybe even bundled with a new Dopus or Norton Commander like tool to handle and...

I can write C/C++ (and a few other languages). What sort of stuff do you need?

Jumping on this a little late. I want to second the plate/PCB/replaceable switches option, it's relatively expensive but will last a lifetime. I suggest Cherry MX clear or brown as they offer a...

I've thought it would be awesome to have floppy disk labels adapted to MEGA65 logo design… So I've made this. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cdqh8cQVIAEKYDw.png:large Thoughts?

For the retro looks, it should not be a problem to use a socketed DIP eeprom for storing the system roms, but a masked rom would not be a good idea - it can't be updated. Function wise it would be...

View ArticleRE[1]: What will be the max amount of RAM ?
The system comes with 128MB of RAM, more than enough for anybody doing programs for the machine IMHO. IIRC there will be a trap door under the MEGA65 for expansion, so even more RAM is possible I...

M65 emulation could be interesting for cross development. Or a cheap way into the machine if you can't afford the real deal, maybe paired with an USB floppy disk drive :) I wouldn't mine using that...

Allowing you to change the nature of Mega65 defeats it's purpose. OK...I agree with everyone you guys say up to that point. But saying we can put Amiga in it...NO! An entire project without any...

Yes, I agree. When we are talking about these thing, one wants exact copy, one joypad in style of present. I know that retro feel is good, but no one can agree that it's only feel. We know that...

You are true - when you say "Mega 65" - it's core of this machine, no other. But you cannot say that Nexys4 is only for M65. Nexys4 provides realization of M65, and of course other cores. I'm using...
