MOS Technology was hurting badly after they withdrew the 6501. You
could get a 6502 for about $25, IIRC. A couple of friends even
picked up 6502 S-100 cards (SSM? I don't remember) because they were
too cheap to resist.
I don't know if they did anything with them, considering the momentum
x80 software was beginning to experience.
