There is also the Olimex 6502 only $30EUR

The Neo6502 has USB keyboard host and HDMI/DVI output.

I wanted to build something like that for years and am glad someone finally did it

Ordered one as soon as I found the project and am very happy with it

What have you used it for? I saw it and thought it was cool but not sure I'd do much with it (I have a colour maximite 2 gathering dust on the shelf!)

Nothing I couldn't have done before using an emulator, to be honest xD

Toyed with cc65

> I ended up mounting one of them on the side of the door at the entrance to my house for spiritual protection.

Cute, basically a Mezuzah. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezuzah

Oh definitely a Mezuzah. Right down to the angling (although the Sephardic practice is to position it straight up and down).

I think you're fully protected from Terminator and Bender.

Neither will dare to attack your residence.

The W65C265S is a delightful chip, and I highly encourage anyone curious about playing with 8-bit (/16-bit)processors to pick up board like the ...SXB mentioned here. I do wish that WDC's tools were more open and less Windows-specific, but the chip can easily run 65C02/65C816 code output from any of the open tools, and it's (mostly) well-documented.

I hope that educational institutions are also using WDC's chips/boards, to help make sure that they stay around for years to come. I do wish that I could easily get my hands on a Mensch Computer.

I never knew they tried to extend the 6502 ISA to 32 bits.
