 >so it normally requires at least two 8-bit RAM chips and two 8-bit ROM chips
-This bare-bones setup requires using a 68008, due to the low amount of RAM chips. To use a normal 68000, one would need to add more chips. Can even be ran on a breadboard, but it’s a lot faster on an actual printed PCB. Even has vi and a text game.

It even has vi and a text game!
