- Neo6502kbd is an all-in-one retro computer built around a real 6502 processor that emulates the Apple ][ and Oric Atmos.
- The single-keyboard chassis packs a 6502 CPU, 4 USB ports, HDMI output, a UEXT connector for WiFi expansion, and USB-C for power and programming.
- Gaming support targets Apple ][ classics including Karateka, Lode Runner, and Cross Fire, playable on any modern DVI/HDMI screen or TV.
- Neo6502kbd doubles as a 6502 development platform with CP/M, ProDOS, BASIC, Pascal, C, Assembler, and Forth toolchains included.
- Setup is plug-and-play—users connect USB-C power and an HDMI display with no additional hardware required.
Why it matters: Retro-computing fans who grew up on Apple ][ titles get a self-contained platform that removes the need for original hardware, floppy drives, or CRT monitors. The built-in development toolchain—C, Pascal, Forth, Assembler—and UEXT WiFi expansion slot make the Neo6502kbd viable for both nostalgia gaming and active 6502 programming in one device.
