While rummaging thought my stock of Commodore chips,
I came across a
bunck of R6765 chips. I looked in some of my notes and I have "floppy
controller" written down and elsewhere "D765". Is this a Rockwell-badged
version of the NEC controller?
Yes. I have no idea whether it is a licensed copy or a clone, though.
Which Commodore drives was this chip used
in?
Not necessarily in any -- Rockwell made chips for a heck of a lot more
stuff than Commodore computers. If it was used in a Commodore drive,
it would most likely have been the 1571 or 1581, since AFAIK those
are the only drives they made that supported industry-standard MFM.
