    Unix like OS in 6502 assembly? Dang. I’m impressed. That’s seriously cool.

      But theoretically not that difficult? I mean, the whole point of Unix was that it is written in C and therefore platform-independent. Principally, all you need to port a POSIX Unix OS is a C compiler for the architecture that you’re targeting.

        I suppose a cross compiler for 6502. What I’m not sure of is what kind of timer interrupts the 6502 supports.
