FAQ

Some questions that have been asked, may be asked or I just want to rant about:

  • Do I think I have to add a lot to history and future of the 6500?
    • No, not really, but I need to get that ‘stuff’ out of my system.
  • What is your experience in 6500 design in programming
    • Well, I got me a KIM-1 in 1978, followed by an Apple II in 1980 that served me well way into the 1990.
  • Why is this Blog in English?
    • Well, the friend I started this for/with in the first place is a American, or more correct as Californian as it can be, notes, mails, etc. were naturally written and exchanged in English. Most of this site being a transcription of these notes and (mostly) verbatim copies of the mails, so why bother with (back) translation?
  • What is that ‘Fat-Meter’
    • It’s a benchmark to meter relative complexity between 6500 variants. It tries to reduce complexity of changes into a single number by applying a rough rule of thumb quantification. For more details, please see its page.
