The chip shortage is upon us - nothing can fix that for now.
So let's build a vintage style computer from parts that are available - and as little of them as possible. Impossible ? OpenSource ?

Update 8:
- everything is broken - again, but there's hope
- more hardware also implemented
- chips are even more unavailable

About the bad6502:
Presenting the bad6502, the 35 Dollar 6502 based computer that has needs no chips.
Features (subject to change):
- HDMI
- USB keyboard / Mouse
- 1+ MHz WDC65C02

Ok, honestly: ... its a 65C02 with emulated hardware on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. But it's cheap and fun and available now. Still fiddling with the hard and software a lot.

More soon !
