| | MOS Technology 6502 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The 6510, a direct successor to the 6502, was the CPU utilized in the extremely popular Commodore 64 home computer. | | | The MOS Technology 6502 is an 8-bit microprocessor designed by MOS Technology in 1975. | | | 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. |
