Comment on Connomore64: Cycle exact emulation of the C64 using parallel microcontrollersparent

There are usb-c paper tape readers: https://www.e-basteln.de/computing/papertape/overview/

They even work with phones!

Lol :) Interestingly that same site hosts a project related to the topic of emulated 6502, but not cycle accurate, instead 100Mhz in old Spartan-6 FPGA. Unfortunately not 6510, so no plugin for the 'breadbox':

But! This reminded me of something else:

Micro Core Labs!

Which can either be cycle accurate, or superfast:

Imagine Durex Forth on that. Ze PoWerRrRr!1!!

Awesome device, it's so small you could attach to a flipper or have a builtin into the flipper.

Also love their motto: "Solving yesterday's problems today" :)

Now for coding doom in ticker tape ... that should fill up the rest of the afternoon!
