Building a 6502 (and W65C02) NOP Tester

I just received some old MOS 6502 microprocessor chips from AliExpress, for a project that I'm currently working on.

Now, I needed a way to test that the received chips were actually functional.

Having already built several Motorola CPU NOP testers, it was now time to build a 6502 NOP tester.

Join me, as I discuss supporting both MOS 6502 and WDC W65C02 CPU's in a project, then building a CPU NOP tester, and finally using it to test my old MOS 6502 chips and a new W65C02 CPU chip.
