Here's my 1980 6502 based Ohio Scientific Instruments computer... don't think its going to be ready for #ChuckPeddleDay #6502
My homemade, hand-wired 6502 machine, presented in honor of #ChuckPeddleDay. 32K RAM, 16K ROM, 6850 ACIA, running at 921 kHz. It has the Apple 1 WozMon for a monitor, plus 4 BASICs, FOCAL, and Tiny PILOT for high-level programming.
It‘s #ChuckPeddleDay !
Charles Ingerham „Chuck“ Peddle would habe turned 88 today.
What a #ChuckPeddleDay surprise.
A new #65o2 game console.
All hail the 6502 - #ChuckPeddleDay
For #ChuckPeddleDay, I added an option to load the Oric Atmos ROM (1.1B that is) to the Virtual 6502 online emulator.

100 times better than a KIM-1?

I'm probably the only person on the planet who currently needs this, but here's a 6502 Opcode Reference... in octal!

Happy #chuckpeddleday ! This KIMSI will be at PaCommEx NW in June 2026 for the 50th anniversary celebration of the KIM-1
The KIM-1 was Commodore’s first big hit 🚀. If you want to learn more about it and the revolution it started 💡, you can read about it in this book 📘:

#ChuckPeddleDay #kim1 #mos6502
An original KIM-1 single board computer system, and a "modern" remake. The KIM-1 was a trainer / dev board for thed 6502 from 1976.
The office nerds held a special "show and tell" in honor of #ChuckPeddleDay. Chuck designed the 6502 CPU that made so many home computers possible and led to the microcomputer revolution of the 1980s.
MOS got bought by Commodore who continued to sell the KIM-1. But the idea for a home computer was born - first the Commodore PET, then the VIC-20 and then the Commodore 64, one of the best selling computers EVER. All based on the 6502.
#ChuckPeddleDay
The KIM-1 was a single board computer with a keypad and six LED displays designed to highlight the power of the then-new 6502 CPU designed by Chuck Peddle and team at MOS.

As it’s #ChuckPeddleDay this KIM-1 emulator and 6502 trainer is free to download today!!

It took some time to finally publish this program for the KIM-1 and today is a good day for it. Udo Juerss is the author.

My #65o2 Project right now:
Translating a KIM-1 game into german:
@fishhack66.bsky.social ported the game "Santa Paravia" (1978) to KIM-1 BASIC. And I'm translating it into german.
Show your 6502 Projects, because it's #ChuckPeddleDay
🎂Happy Birthday Chuck🎈, wherever you are!
Today is #ChuckPeddleDay – a celebration of the brilliant mind behind the 6502!
So dig out your 6502 computers, power them up, dust them off, or just show them with pride.
Whether it’s a Commodore, Apple, Atari, BBC Micro or any homebrew project – today we honor the chip that started it all. 🚀🖥️✨
Learning 6502 programming is still a valid way to hone your low-level coding skills. The 6502 is perhaps one of the earliest RISC CPUs, so you could trace the path from it to the Arm CPUs in just about everything today.
#ChuckPeddleDay
You would be lucky to find a KIM-1 for sale today at an affordable price, but you can buy a “modern” replacement such as the PAL-II on Tindie in kit form. It still uses a real 6502.
#ChuckPeddleDay
The KIM-1 got its name from Keyboard Input Monitor. It was designed as a 6502 development system but became a cult computer in its own right. It was first released in 1976 for about $245.
