Hopefully somebody decides to distribute it in the states. The 1kEU minimum buy makes it not interesting for hobby kit.

6502 is fun but coupling it to a RP2040 takes most of that fun away again, imho. Why not have the RP2040 emulate the 6502 too?

According to https://neo6502.com/ the SOC has a 6.25 Mhz CPU and 64k of RAM. What's the utility of this in the modern world?

It looks just like a computer a friend of mine had in the 80s.

Interesting, I wonder if those external 3.5" diskette drives will work with this ?
