 |
|
| I was reading up on CPU history today and came across wiki page for MOS technology and 6501 while trying to understand what KIM-1 system is. I have a book about it. The article said the 6501 was sued and all that MOS didn't sell were destroyed. I wonder if there are any of these 6501s that survived? After the reading I realized how important the 6502 family was and how intel and others were affected by a small group of designers. TI was evil too! I'm not going to spend my BN gift card on TI calculators! |

To answer your question: yes.
You mean Steve Jobs? I heared rumours about them planned the apple I based on 6800/6501 but as the 6501 was very short on the market and the 6502 came a few weeks after the 6501 that never went into concrete details. |
