Now the Gigatron is emulating a 6502 processor, the same CPU found in the Apple II and almost every other retrocomputer that isn’t running a Z80. There’s a thread over on the Gigatron forums ...

Chuck Peddle, the patriarch of the 6502 microprocessor, died recently. Most people don’t know the effect that he and his team of engineers had on their lives. We often take the world of ...

It was widely used in schools and home and manufactured up to 1994. Using an 8-bit 6502 microprocessor running at 1 MHz and an 8-bit bus, it ran the Apple DOS and ProDOS operating systems.

Since this processor is similar to the 6502 chip used in classic PCs and game consoles, like the Atari 2600 or the Apple II, the tiny computer can easily run emulators for those devices.
