I can prove my inexperience:
Motorola 6510 Assembly Language on the Commodore 64--straight from the disassembler.
That was as close to the guts of a machine I ever got, but learned much in the process.
6510 was it?? I remember it was a 6502, but then again it might have been a follow-up version, but I'm sure it was not Motorola behind it. Wasn't it something like VIA or VIAtech or something like that,,,
Time to turn to archeological patheology to find out ;o)
The 6502 was used for the Commodore Vic 20 and a number of other computers of that era. The 6510 was a touch faster, and it supported more memory or something. Otherwise it was completely compatible with the 6502.
And yes, it was Motorola behind it--I remember looking under the hood and and reading the manuals.
BTW, when the Commodore 128 came out with a wopping 128KB of RAM, the processor was the 8510 (if memory serves me correctly). It had an emulation mode for the Commodore 64.
The Amiga came out with the Motorola 650000 chip (one whole MHz!!!).
Commodore has always been faithful to the Motorola line of processors.
