If you have a version 3 with the SD card socket on the bottom, then this is for you!

Solving the hardware problem with software, basically.

Downside: extra software overhead for decoding the matrix. Potentially a lot.

Upside: you never have key clash. You can always see the entire state of the keyboard. Every single key pressed down? OKAY! no problem.

Question: how are you handling keybounce? By the nature of the read loop taking a while, or are you just going to read twice and compare?

The Apple II is my favorite computer ever. I still have my original unit from 1994, and it is - hands down - the most reliable computer I own.

If you had a system that allowed you to connect different brands of 80's era computers over the internet with a unified protocol...

What would you use it for? Games? Messages? File Transfers?

Imagine an Atari, Apple, Commodore and CoCo all doing something together.

What would that be?

If you had the opportunity to talk to someone really cool in the tech industry, who would it be?

Game developer? Hardware designer? Tech visionary? The one dude who had that weird idea about marketing?

I wanna know! Sound off in the replies.

Hey internet! Can I get enough interest to build these? I have no idea what production costs would be, but I can't see these costing more than $50/ea final retail price.

I don't want to commit to a large order if there's not enough interest. Sound off in the replies!

I love the 6502. You can just look at the code and understand it. (Except for all the weird branching modes, but that's it's own thing)

And hooking it up to hardware? Slap a buffer between it and your other chips and it'll just talk to them. To the 6502, everything is a memory location.

I was contemplating a switch from Windows to #Mac for my daily driver before the Windows 10 EOL next month.

No longer. I will switch to Linux or install Windows 11 before I buy another #Apple product.

Joe's Advice:

If you aren't backing up your data to a system that has proper filesystem isolation and snapshot immutability: you aren't backing up at all.

"We followed all guidelines, had backups, got encrypted and went out of business!" means you weren't following guidelines.
