Components in this kit are genuine vintage parts — most are 30+ years old. The CPU may have surface scratches, and other ICs may have worn or faded markings. This is normal for chips of this age and does not affect functionality. All components are tested and verified working

Overview

Ships worldwide

The board is designed to be easy to solder, with only large THT components — ideal for learning how a 6502-based system works, experimenting with low-level code, or building your own firmware and monitor.

The kit includes everything required to assemble a functional ROSCO 6502 machine: CPU, memory, logic, clock source, power circuitry, and connectors.

Once assembled, the board boots into a serial console and can run custom ROMs, demos, or your own projects.

This kit is suitable for anyone who wants real hands-on experience with classic 8-bit hardware without emulation or abstraction. Just solder it, power it, and start exploring the 6502 architecture directly.
