Microsoft has open-sourced its 1976 version of BASIC for the MOS 6502 processor, providing assembly source code on GitHub under the MIT License, highlighting its historical significance in personal computing and early software development.
A developer has successfully ported the Little Unix (LUnix) operating system, originally written for the Commodore 64, to the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) using the Famicom Disk System (FDS) to overcome the NES's limited RAM. The project, driven by curiosity, leverages the similarities between the 6502 MPU in the C64 and the Ricoh 2A03 in the NES. The port is available on GitHub and can be booted up on an unmodified NES using an EverDrive cartridge that supports FDS ROMs, sparking interest in the potential revival of UNIX-on-6502 development.
