Code for the KiT 6502 computer

For more info on the KiT, see https://www.cs.cornell.edu/~kt/categories/6502/.

Repository layout

• lib/ contains libraries imported by other programs (e.g., for keyboard and display routines)
• roms/ contains self-contained programs for flashing the EEPROM. The most important program is video-mon, which is the KiT's machine language monitor that serves as its main operating system.
• prgs/ contains programs designed to be loaded over the serial port by video-mon, including mandelbrot, snake, preempt, and cooperative-multitask.
