- The MOnSter 6502 is a giant transistor-scale replica of the MOS 6502 microprocessor, measuring 12x15 inches with over 4000 surface mount components and 167 indicator LEDs.
- The project is still underway and the first prototype will be shown at the Bay Area Maker Faire, though it may not be fully functional yet.
- The MOnSter 6502 is not currently sold as a kit or product, but there is a mailing list for updates.
- Reader comments express strong interest in purchasing the replica as a kit or bare board, with some suggesting its potential as a teaching tool and display piece.
- Technical discussion includes expansion boards for the BBC Micro that could run at higher clock speeds using a CMOS 6502 and separate RAM.
