I'm not saying the MOS 6502 was not important but its impact does not match the 8080. The very early days the 6502 had its day in the sun! The INTEL monopoly was well underway solidifying with the 8088 in the PC World. I wrote a book about the early micro-computing days as an historian and do confirm statements I make. I agree Chuck Guzis was the expert here and we do truly miss him. Happy computing, Murray 🙂 On Wed, Sep 17, 2025 at 9:51 PM Fred Cisin via cctalk <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> wrote: > Chuck Guzis would have been able to tell us which of the stories had > validity. > > We miss him. >
