I have some Synertek NMOS 6502s from various weeks
in 1984, still in their (original?) Synertek static tubes.
(At least, "Synertek" is stamped on the tubes.)
Ooh! That'll be good
to up the value on Ebay a few dollars... Let's see...
L@@K!!!!! R@RE!!! SYNERTeK Sy6502 ***IN MANUFACTURERS PAKAGING*** ***NR***
:-) :-) :-)
A few "boy are these stupid" questions:
1. Does anyone have any cool Synertek lore they'd like to
share with the group? All I know about them is they made
the SYM-1 and were a 6530 second-source. I guess it's safe
to conclude they were also a 6502 second-source. :)
I think I've got some
e-mails from a guy who used to work for them. From
memory, Synertek were a Honeywell subsidiary who signed a license with MOS
Technology to second-source the 6502. MOS used the part numbers "MCS6502"
and "MPS6502", Synertek used "SY6502".
