On the Hackover 2023, a simple 8-bit computer was shown to teach about the first home computers. This time we take a look on what has happend in the last two years.
About 2 years ago, I came up with an idea to build a very simple but still versatile retro computer. Pairing up a real 65C02 with a microcontroller to provide the "mainboard" the system runs on providing a serial console via USB. One could also call this a "software defined computer".
After the design has proven to be as useful as such a computer can be, we are now at the beginning the development of expansion cards: sound, VGA as well as something very blinkenlight-ish.
The system is a nice point for a software person to peak into how hardware works, as the hardware is implemented in C. It's also very easy to solder.
This talk is a round up about the past, present and planned future for the Sorbus Computer. And also a few systems can be handed out for testing.
