I'm porting BBC BASIC to the Ben Eater 6502. I need testers!

Post by spageen »

Hello!

Image

I am in the process of creating 'BeebEater' a thin wrapper over the original BBC BASIC binary to make it compatible with Ben Eater's 6502 breadboard computer build.

I've implemented handy things such as the serial terminal, LCD, and the PS/2 Keyboard.

GitHub repo is here: https://github.com/chelsea6502/BeebEater. All you need to do is load the ROM into the EEPROM, and reset.

However, it hasn't been robustly tested by other people yet. I'm looking for people with a completed Ben Eater build to at the very least confirm that the latest version is working for them.

If you can help out, please let me know! I'd especially appreciate feedback from any BBC BASIC experts who could give me feedback on how to better handle system calls. Thanks! :)
