Used a Attiny26 am I screwed?

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

I used a Attiny26 in my project and I know it's ancient but it fit nicely so I used it. However I didn't expect for there to be no hardware library for it or support at all.

There is no way I can write support for it and nobody would do it now for a chip that old. Am I completely screwed or is this some hidden GitHub repo I'm missing?

Any help is greatly appreciated

You could program it using Atmel Studio IV, in plain C (with WinAVR) or assembler.

it fit nicely so I used it

Other Atmel processors, supported by Arduino, have the same DIP package size.

I'm still disappointed the Z80 is not supported with any core.

No promises ...

Also, watch this for ideas ...

Yeah looks like the 261 has the same pinouts and package so might swap it over

ATTinyCore 2.0.0 (currently available for public testing) has support for 26 in theory, it has yet to have any testing done on it though, and I haven't taken my tiny26's out of the box yet.
