# x65

> The 65c02 and 65c816-based modern computer with a retro feel.

Original author: jsyk (source: https://github.com/jsyk/x65)

## Components

- **WIZnet W6100** x 1 ([docs](https://docs.wiznet.io/Product/iEthernet/W6100/))

## Article

A two-PCB stacked construction: Motherboard (mo-bo) at the bottom and Video-Audio board (va-bo) at the top, connected by two 20-pin headers. Each board is exactly 100x100mm and just 2-layers. This construction has following advantages:

- the PCB stack can be placed inside Eurocard housings

- 100x100mm / 2-layers is cheaply manufactured by many PCB vendors in small quantities

- FPGA Lattice
  - Lattice focuses on low-power and cost-effective FPGA solution

- W6100

- VERA

- 16bit MCU
