This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I was going to add that disclaimer, but it's also a step closer and interesting nonetheless.
I'd also recommend Breaking Taps, while he does amazing stuff in a home lab it also has the disclaimer that he's able to get it already has some super interesting but rare stuff. Electron microscope etc.
I thought I saw someone making homemade, low power processors but for the life of me I can't remember who or where.
Sam Zeloof did it.
That's the 6502 one you're talking about though, what about the previous one (granted it still used a bunch of ICs, but not a microcontroller per se)
