#hardware hacking a PCI socket into a programming clip for an ATtiny13 SOIC — apparently the pin pitches are the same (1.27 mm apparently) and so if you disassemble the connector, bend the pins around, and slit the connector so it opens, you can get it to clip onto an SOIC

#6502 #asm #source-code for Prince of Persia, one of the all-time great #video-games, one of the first to feature rotoscoped motion, and Linus Torvalds’s favorite game around the time he wrote Linux. This is the original Apple II version, rather than the better known IBM PC version, published by its author Jordan Mechner in 2012 after being recovered by Jason Scott and Tony Diaz. “As the author and copyright holder of this source code, I personally have no problem with anyone studying it, modifying it, attempting to run it, etc. Please understand that this does NOT constitute a grant of rights of any kind in Prince of Persia...”
