Hopper FORTH on 6502 : sneaky tricks and improved performance 

Yes, my previous board last year used the MAX232 as per Ben Eater's design: www.hackster.io/michael-cartwright/rs232-using-the-motorola-6850-acia-with-a-6502-computer-33ea36 It seems kinda silly to convert from TTL to RS232 and then back again so this time I just went direct to FTDI. Current version with schematic can be found here: github.com/sillycowvalley/Hopper/tree/main/Source/Projects/6502SBC/EasyEDA/6502%20Machine/rev12

@@biggertigger Not a Max you dont need it. that is a voltage pump. As you would know. We really only need 0 and 5 volts. no Minus or 25+ stuff that was way back in the day when they had looooooong cables and they needed it. Today we use things like arduino and they just use 0 5 volt serial perfectly fine.

@@biggertiggerThat makes more sense to me as well. Ben Eater I am not sure why he would want to do that old rs323 as only older gear will be able to use it. I am glad you are working on Hopper cross platform. I am very quickly running out of love for the 65uino. If your very skilled with assembly and such I feel it would be great for you, but I am a newbie and I feel Anders great patience will run out very soon with me

I really like the look of hooper. I would love to check it out. I am getting a very basic Ben Eater PCB soon I hope. and I will be just doing newbie asm stuff with it, no trying to load code into ram.
