From what I understand, The 6501 was a 6800 instruction clone that was
sued into history by Motor-ola.
That was a good thing in hindsight ... it gave them
time to add better clock
generation on the 6502. Looking back, the 6800 clock was as much a pain as
the 8080A clock, and no IC's at the time to generate the clocks too.( when they
first came out)
