A Note About Getting 65C02s
When the project was started in mid 2023, 65C02 or 65SC02 were easy to obtain for ~2,50 Euro per chip when buying 10. However since end of 2024 these chips are getting harder to get. This results in two things: for one prices rise, but more importantly there are more fakes around. Two out of three tries to obtain reasonable priced refurbished 65C02s leads to discovering them being fakes. This is one of the reasons why the Sorbus is good at detecting the variant of the 6502 at hand.
The official price at Mouser is ~8.30/chip when buying 10 or more. So, if prices of refurbished and new old stock rise even more, it makes more sense to buy new chips. (WDC W65C02TPG-14 @ Mouser)
