The Sorbus Computer
===================

The attempt to build a very simple 65C02 based computer by utilizing a
Raspberry Pi Pico clone for the rest of the functionality.

The Project is capabile to run as an [Apple Computer 1](doc/apple1.md)
as well as an own monitor command prompt (mcp) to learn about the 65C02
processor and it siblings.

The project is fully open source, licensend under GPL v3:
  - the PCB design is in the folder pcb
    - the Raspberry Pi Pico clone is found under the term "Purple PR2040"
      on AliExpress and other sites
  - the 65C02 source code to run on the target is at src/65c02
    - compiling requires the [cc65](https://cc65.github.io/), which
      needs to be preinstalled.
  - the source code for the Raspberry Pi Pico clone is at src/rp2040
    - compiling requires the
      [Pico-SDK](https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk) from the
      Raspberry Pi Foundation, which will be downloaded if not previously
      configured. However it's dependencies must also be preinstalled.

[An addtional page](https://xayax.net/sorbus/) has been setup to explain more
about the ideas of the system, as well as some usecases.
