2026 Retrocomputer Challenge: Vectron65 Plus Puts The Emphasis On Plus No comments by: Tyler August October 3, 2026 Title: Copy Short Link: Copy [Nick Bild] evidently has a soft spot for the 6502, given that his Vectron65 Plus home computer project uses at least one of them, depending on the add-ons. You see, he hasn’t just made a homebrew computer, he’s also produced multiple expansions. One of which, the VGA Plus Text Mode, has its own 6502 co-processor.
