 MOS Technology 6502 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 6510, a direct successor to the 6502 with a digital I/O port and a tristate bus, was the CPU utilized in the extremely popular Commodore 64 home computer.
The 6502 was next used in the Apple II family, and then quickly appeared in various Commodore and Atari home computers, the BBC Micro family, and a huge number of other designs now lost to history.
The instruction decoding in the 6502 is implemented by a hardwired logic array (similar to a programmable logic array) which is only defined for valid opcodes.

 Technology Encyclopedia Article, Information, History and Biography @ LaunchBase.org
Jacques Ellul is one proponent of the irresistibleness of technology to humans.
In its most common use, technology refers to tools and machines that may be used to help solve problems.
In this use, technology is a far-reaching term that may include both simple tools, such as a wooden spoon, and complex tools, such as the space station or the written sets of procedures and maintenance manuals for it.

 MOS Technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MOS Technology, Inc., also known as Commodore Semiconductor Group, was a microprocessor and calculator company famous for its 6502 processor.
MOS had previously designed a simple computer kit called the KIM-1, primarily to "show off" the 6502 chip.
Due to its speed it outran the more complex and expensive 6800, Intel 8080 and Zilog Z80 series, but cost much less and was easier to work with.

 Commodore.ca History MOS Technology & the Rise of the 6502 Processor
MOS developed and manufactured the 6500 line of processors which were used in nearly all Commodore computers and floppy drives.
Using a motherboard based on the 6502 processor he designed and built the worlds first computer which would later be named the Commodore PET.
In addition to providing millions of chips to the electronics industry and computer manufacturers, MOS / CSG produced nearly all of the chips used in Commodore computers and floppy drives.

 MOS Technology
The 6502 became the basis for all of MOS Technologies microprocessors.
In 1975, MOS Technology designed the 6502, which was very different than the 6501.
The 6502 dominated the industry in the late seventies and early eighties until the IBM PC and the Intel 8088 "standardized" the industry.

Appropriate technology is a term which refers to using the simplest and most benign level of technology which can effectively achieve the intended purpose.
Fictional technology is proposed or described in many different contexts for many different reasons: Exploratory engineering seeks to identify if a prospective technology can be designed in detail, and simulated, even if it cannot be built yet - this is often a prerequisite to venture capital funding, or investigation in weapons research.
A related term, intermediate technology, refers specifically to tools that cost more than those currently in use in a developing nation but much less than those that would be used in a developed nation.

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Chuck Peddle
Peddle had worked at Motorola from 1973 on the development of the 6800 processor but then left for MOS Technology, where he headed the design of the 650x family of processors; these were made as an answer to the Motorola 6800.
Electronics engineer Chuck Peddle is mostly known as the main designer of the MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor; the KIM-1 SBC; and its successor the Commodore PET school/business/home computer, both based on the 6502.
The most famous member of the 650x series was the 6502, which was subsequently used in very many microcomputer devices (three well-known examples from the consumer market being the Apple II, the Commodore VIC-20 and the Nintendo Entertainment System aka NES).

 CmpSci 535 Lecture 1
The ability to use the same technology for memory as for the processor resulted in the explosion of cheap, large memory machines that we see today.
Thus, the IC revolutionized computer design in two ways: by shrinking the size of computers, and by making the memory technology compatible with the processing technology.
The hardest part of designing such a machine was to get the carry to propogate cleanly from one digit to the next (so that there wouldn't be any ambiguous, half visible, numbers showing in the display windows).

The processor didn't have I/O instructions, therefore 6502-based computers used memory mapped I/O. All microprocessors in the 6502/650x family are software compatible between each other - the differences between CPUs are in hardware (different maximum size of addressed memory, clock oscillator is on-board or external, interrupt input options).
Stack size of the 6502 was limited to 256 bytes.
