Talking Reverse Engineering with an Absolute Legend!

The FPS-100 board set we have is incredibly cool, but also incomplete. Notably, we gotta try and figure out the backplane connections. To do that, we gotta do a bit of reverse engineering. Who better to talk to about Reverse Engineering than the legend who built the Monster 6502, the Snark Barker and co-wrote Open Circuits!
