| | Mensch Computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Mensch Computer is a computer system based on the W65C265 microcontroller (which implements both the 16-bit instruction set of the W65C816/65816 microprocessor, as well as the 8-bit instruction set of the 6502 microprocessor) and produced by the Western Design Center. | | | The Mensch Computer includes a ROM monitor (a type of firmware), and numerous software routines are available to programmers by calling subroutines in the ROM. | | | The computer system is named after Bill Mensch, designer of the 6502 and subsequent series of microprocessor. |

| | Il mio angolo - An Interview With William Mensch |
| | Mensch is now doing for integrated circuit (IC) technology what he says Apple Computer has done for the microcomputer—making it less expensive and available for widespread personal use. | | | He was a member of the design team—at MOS Technology—that developed the 6502 microprocessor which is used in one form or another in Apple, Atari, and Commodore 8-bit computers. | | | At a time when much of the personal computer microprocessor publicity is directed at big names such as Intel (designers of the IBM PC microprocessors), and Motorola, Mensch is quietly providing Apple Computer with ways that it can make good on its slogan, "Apple II Forever.". |

| | Unlike, say, a TI-99 bulletin board I've called, a computer magazine can not be content with discussions of summer vacations and fishing trips. | | | The problem, according to Western Design Center's Bill Mensch, is not available hardware--- 65816's have been tested above 12 Mhz and the '832 will soon be ready for prototyping--- the problem, he says, is that Apple is not particularly interested in an upgrade, or, even, in preserving the II series! | | | Re-discovery My reason for mentioning the II-to-Mac shift now is that inCider's move is symptomatic of maneuvering we must expect and be wary of in the post-Computer Wars I world. |
