MOS Technologies          A {microprocessor} design company started by some       ex-{Motorola} designers, shortly after the {Intel 8080} and       {Motorola 6800} appeared, in about 1975.   MOS Technologies       introduced the {650x} series, based on the {Motorola 6800}       design, though they were not exact clones for legal reasons.          The design goal was a low-cost (smaler chip) design, realized       by simplifying the decoder stage.   There were no instructions       with the value xxxxxx11, reducing the 1-of-4 decoder to a       single {NAND} gate.   Instructions with the value xxxxxx11       actually executed two instructions in paralell, some of them       useful.          The 6501 was pin-compatible with the 6800 for easier market       penetration.   The 650x-series had an on-chip clock oscillator       while the 651x-series had none.          The 6510 was used in the {Commodore 64}, released September       1981 and MOS made almost all the ICs for Commodore's {pocket       calculators}.          The {PET} was an idea of the of the 6500 developers.   It was       completly developed by MOS, but was manufactured and marketed       by Commodore.   By the time the it was ready for production       (and Commodore had cancelled all orders) MOS had been taken       over by {Rockwell} (Commodore's parent company).   Just at this       time the 6522 (VIA) was finished, but the data sheet for it       was not and its developers had left MOS.   For years, Rockwell       didn't know in detail how the VIA worked.          (2001-03-31)
