RE: [N8VEM-S100:1070] A new S-100 6502 CPU Board



Hi!  Below is the circuitry from the ECB 6x0x host processor board which allows a single CPU board to use a 6502, 6809, or 6802 processor.  As you can see the three processors are very similar and to make the accommodations requires an extra 40 pin socket and small number of jumpers and resistors.  This works very well and several of the N8VEM ECB builders have 6x0x systems which can switch between the three processors at build time.

 

Thanks and have a nice day!
