I’d make eye contact with him and fart. I did it all the time for like two years. I didn’t even know his full name, just heard that his coworkers thought he was a nut for complaining about “the guy who would fart on me in the break room”

Shipping and handling was more expensive than the parts. $10 for all the chips together. I think the processor was $6. I had everything else I need.

Guess it wouldn't be that big of an investment to purchase a z80.

Who owns the rights to the 6502 now or did MOS survive the death of Commodore? It's probably the most influential microprocessor ever made.

The 6502 singlehandedly took microcomputing out of the realm of expensive hobbyist toys and into the average dining room. If you don't recognize the effect that had, you aren't qualified to have an opinion.

yeah, by a million miles. the downside is it doesn't have as complete of a part library because, for example, sparkfun doesn't give you a library of everything they sell. making your own patterns and poo poo when needed is really easy, though.

not really, the computers it was used in did that sure, but that's not really down to the 6502 itself is it. home adoption of microcomputers was driven by falling prices and available software libraries, not the cpu those computer happened to contain

the 6502 isn't what made the 2600, c64, or NES a success.

The 6502 was one-sixth the price of competing CPUs and you're too loving stupid to realize how that was influential even though you cite falling prices as one of the reasons for widespread microcomputer adoption. lmao

please enlighten us what was "influential" about the 6502. not why it was popular, because popular != influential. what specifically about the processor itself was influential? because it wasn't the bus design, or the instruction set, or the programming model, or the hardware design, or the production method, or anything like that.

You are an autism victim if you don't understand how popular = influential. The 6502 was cheap enough to put a computer in every house that wanted one. A lot of people cut their teeth on programming with them. More users meant a larger and more diverse software library.

Were it not for MOS pushing prices into the basement, the computing landscape would look very different now.

What hosed up idiot world do you live in where popular products are not influential? Do you live in a world where everything is judged solely on technical merit?

this whole discussion started because a guy wants to build his own computer, now in 2014, not in 1977. and your whole argument is "the 6502 was in a popular product, therefore it is good, therefore the guy building his own computer today should choose it over the cheaper/better alternatives."

There's a reason no one uses right bit computers now: they were really clunky bad poo poo. Nostalgia for stuff like that seems to be limited to people who never actually had to use it.

here's something i'm actually doing rather than just thinking about doing. lots of playing around with polls. i love polls, i want to spend all day looking at them. i'm thinking about using mechanical turk to pull out deeper data (like how they voted in 2010) that is only found in the full pdf versions of the tabs. any way i could just write some sort of script to do this tho? any other ways i could use software to do cool poo poo with this data?

i dunno. i think building one can be a good learning exercise. the big plus point to 8-bit stuff is that all the chips are available in DIP packages so it's easy to hand solder everything, and adding memory and peripheral chips is really simple. even just the step up to 16-bit means everything is surface mounted and the bus designs don't really lend themselves to just slapping on more chips and everything just working. plus 8-bit cpus are slow enough that you don't have to worry about all the spergy stuff like track lengths and clock phasing
