[Year 12 Its] Re: Naming Conventions

[Mike Brookes]

Commodore Business Machines owned MOS Technologies, the company that 
produced the 6502 processor. The 6510 was a version of the 6502 - used 
the same instruction set. Commodore also used other versions of the 65xx 
  processors in their printers and disk drives.

provides an interesting summary, but we seem to be drifting away from 
naming conventions - maybe we should start another thread on the joys of 
machine language programming :-)
