Normally, "pipelining" for micros refers to
overlaping the fetch of one
instruction with the "execute phase" of the previous instruction. The
6502 does none of this.
The 6502 most certainly *does* do this on many instructions, most notably
the arithmetic and logical instructions.
Note, the Z8 actually does some limited pipelining.
Not any more than the 6502 does.
This put it ahead in bragging
rights amongs the 8-bitters.
Not really, since it came about two years later than the 6501 and 6502.
Everyone *PLEASE* edit your quotes, and don't include an entire digest
in your replies!
