#ScribesAndMakers 7 May: When did you think of the idea for your current project? Do you remember how it came about? My current project is to create a simulation of an imaginary 8-bit home computer from the early 1980s. I think the seeds of the idea came to me 25 years ago - I always wanted to try out some processor architecture ideas. I'm starting off with a simulated 6502, but once I have the rest of the development system and simulated hardware ready, I'm going to do some processor hackery!

    @AbramKedge@beige.party The 6502 had a great instruction set (not like the Intel insanity) and, of course, the ARM instruction set was based off it. (All because of Sophie Wilson at Acorn.)
