Mensch Computer
The Mensch Computer is a computer system based on the WDC 65C265 microcontroller and produced by the Western Design Center. The computer system is named after Bill Mensch, designer of the 6502 and subsequent series of microprocessor.
Designed as a computer system for hobbyists and people who enjoy computer programming, especially programming at the assembly language level, the Mensch Computer includes a basic set of peripherals which can be expanded by the owner. Much software originally written for other computer systems which use the 65816 or 6502 instruction sets can be run on the Mensch Computer, to the extent that such software does not rely on hardware configurations which differ from the Mensch Computer.
The Mensch Computer includes a ROM monitor, and numerous software routines are available to programmers by calling subroutines in the ROM. Typically, the Mensch Computer runs Mensch Works, a software suite also named after Bill Mensch.
