I know it's a widely circulated claim, but I haven't seen much evidence
for it. The link you posted above says "Sophie maintains that "inspired
by" isn't the right choice of words." In which case I suppose
"knockoff" is even less right.
I'm just genuinely curious exactly which features of the 6502 and ARM
instruction sets people think are so alike? Please, name specific
details!
I have both the ARM and the 6502 instruction sets
very fresh in my mind
right now. I don't see how the ARM could be a 6502 knockoff, even
without that sauce. Care to explain in more detail?
This is a matter of historical record, AIUI.
