A simple BIOS for my breadboard computer

Social media:

Special thanks to these supporters for making this video possible:

Most impressive part of this is that running `make` worked on the first try.

[Thetimpson]

I like to think Ben shoots these videos without a script, live, in one shot, having never approached the subject before.

[Postbus]

Ben Eater is literally the Bob Ross of electronics

"...unfortunately none of those are the computer that i built"
what a problem to have

[xardspl]

A new Ben video is like Christmas for computer engineers. Please post more often!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, your teaching style is PERFECT. By incrementally showing things that don't quite work and gradually approaching the correct answer, you leave us with an understanding of WHY things are the way they are. This is how new knowledge can be retained. Oh how I wish all my teachers in the past taught this way!!! THANK YOU, BEN!

Sir you are really doing the Lord's work here. Where were you in the 90s?!

[JTCF]

Wow, this is an amazing introduction to compilers AND linkers working together. I'm using linux as my daily driver OS and I was wondering how it all worked, and I am very thankful for your awesome explanations. Truly amazing!

[ast_rsk]

Wow! This was everything I was trying to dig into with CC65, but in a way I finally understand. Thank you so much!

[MattRose]

I really appreciate how you're not just showing how it is done, but also all the errors that can occur in the process.

[JoeBurnett]

Your teaching method of incremental modification is really good! Thank you for sharing your gift of educating others with us using a subject we love!

[tetraquark]

This is the clearest explanation I have seen on how the linker works with segments arrange where all the parts of your program go in ROM . Thank you

[misterfelixguy]

Following Ben's videos has given me great hands-on experience and including these projects on my resume actually helped me land an internship at HP (which turned into a full-time engineering role). Thanks for these wonderful videos and kits Ben!

[HarmonicaMustang]

I love the layout of these videos. It's very much how I deal with problems every day; work through errors as they come, adding information until it's happy, and balance it with what I learned from articles on the matter.

Love this series, thank you for sharing your project with such detail and quality.

[CWR]

This guy is such a legend! Making such technical content so accessible is a true masterwork.

I just bought the 6502 kit for Christmas and I couldn’t be happier to see this come out. Thanks Ben, fast shipping, great parts, and a joy to watch.

[ucantSQ]

I still remember the first video I watched of Ben programming an eeprom by hand.
This man is a hero. I'm so glad he's still making videos.

[robbybobbyhobbies]

Crazy for me that my first real experience with assembly coding was 6502 on the BBC back in 80-something when I was a teenager and here I am dredging memories back through 40+ years of mist. Thanks.

[PrometheanConsulting]

Wow. Where was YouTube in the 70s when I was figuring all this stuff out in my room?!

Ben does a great job with these videos and elegantly brings these concepts together. Thanks!

This is a real NerdPorn for me, this video returned me to C64 assembler and Amiga C days.
