#2It looks just like a computer a friend of mine had in the 80s.

#3Interesting, I wonder if those external 3.5" diskette drives will work with this ?

#4According to https://neo6502.com/ the SOC has a 6.25 Mhz CPU and 64k of RAM.
What's the utility of this in the modern world?

#5> Neo6502 [...] consist of real W65C02S processor and RP2040 which emulates RAM memory, video, keyboard, SPI, I2C, UART, GPIOs, Sound

6502 is fun but coupling it to a RP2040 takes most of that fun away again, imho. Why not have the RP2040 emulate the 6502 too?

If they're USB, they should! At least the Apple/Oric software supports USB flash storage, and the USB floppies are the same protocol.
The problem is Apple II 3.5" disks are in GCR so you would need a custom controller (IMO certainly doable with an RP2040 let alone RP2350) that is not bound to just PC formats.

Hobbiest fun?

> Do you remember Karateka, Lode Runner, and Cross Fire on the Apple ][?
> Our Neo6502kbd brings it all back — an all-in-one retro computer with a real 6502 processor that can emulate the Apple ][ and Oric Atmos, letting you play all those classic games on your modern DVI/HDMI screen or TV.
It's for retrogaming apparently

I think it works if you treat it as a black box - the RP2040 and 2350 are synchronous and can basically play the role of an FPGA here.
Although I could see a version of this with two RP2350's.

#10wow that's cheap, really good value! I love Olimex they deserve much more attention
