A C64 running a 6502cpu..

[Vipersan]

So it _does_ work...
I have been made aware that there might be issues with some programs...but this adapter pcb does work in a C64.
...or in this case my C64 reloaded MKII.
see photos.
I'll be making another one jumpers configured to replace the cpu in a C16 when I have time.
I'm well impressed with this project from Monotech.

MOS CPU Replacer (6510/8501)

Please read the entire description before ordering. Replace rare/expensive/unreliable MOS CPUs 6510 (C64) (8500 is same as 6510) 6510T (1551 floppy drive) 8501 (C16, C116, Plus/4) (7501 is same as 8501) 8502 (C128) The above 'CPUs' are just standard 6502s with some extra logic tacked on inside...

I am impressed. Please keep us posted on any bugs you find.

Round 2
I built up another one of these converter kits ...
This time configured to replace the cpu in a C16/plus4.
It boots just fine.
see photos.
appologies for quality this time.
never easy grabbing photos from a CRT.

I'm thinking that even if these sustitute CPUs aren't 100% compatible...they will make great diagnostic tools...
rather than risking rare/expensive originals.

just received my C64 wedge psu pcbs....from PCB Waaaaay
already have one built up.
Soon I hope to have a replacement I can trust with an accurately regulated 5.2v out ...and I'm going to fit a small rocker switch on the mains input ..plus a red indicator led.
