The starting point: what the machine will be, why it is designed this way, and where the project stands.

• Project 816 for complete beginnersProject 816 explained without jargon: a real 16-bit processor, two FPGAs and a Pico 2 W on a Mini-ITX board, in diagrams, from the idea to the planned board.
• Planned specificationsThe planned data sheet of Project 816: 65816 processor, ROM, 16 MB of RAM, HDMI video, sound, storage, I/O and form factor, and what is still to be defined.
• The project: goals and phasesThe goals of Project 816, its main choices (3.3 V throughout, no ROM, FPGAs instead of period chips) and its three phases, through to the software.
• Where the project standsThe status of Project 816: the specification is written. The list of tasks in order, and the points still open, from the FPGA to the components.
