In 1989, after my first semester at university, I made the first line on the schematics for a small self-designed and self-built computer. This computer, based on the 6502 CPU, has until 1992 become a small computer system. But from then I only occasionally worked on it.
Well, after someone asked me to release it to the public, I decided to overhaul the documentation, translate it to english and put it under the GNU public license. (Which, of course, doesn't hold true for the ported BASIC interpreter. See this file for more.)
Version 1.3.13 has an
experimental TCP/SLIP implementation,
which is can be used as a client to a fileserver
on the other side. Also a simple (and very Alpha, i.e. buggy!)
WWW server is included.
There is a README for the SLIP stuff.
Version 1.3.12 supports the
GECKO
computer, a selfbuilt system without MMU. The schematics are
also on the site!
Here is a short introduction to what has changed between versions 1.3.10 and 1.3.6g, because this is a more structural change then the one up to 1.3.12.
Well, when I did this project, it was just for fun. But now I find it
quite nice. Well, if you know some magazin that would like to publish
some of it, I will be glad writing an article or so (if anybody really
wants it ;-)
But on the other hand my interests have moved.
Occasionally I still work on the project - when I have the time (or take
the time ;-)
But after all, I don't really have time for it.
