Except when it came to the: absolute; absolute,Y; absolute,Y; (indirect,Y); and (indirect),Y addressing modes on 6502 when the address was stored big-endian but byte reversed. For example LDA $12B4 location contents nnnn AD nnnn+1 B4 nnnn+2 12 I've got a working 6502 based Microtan 65 from 1981. http://www.6502.org for those that want to visit a forgotten age.
