Well, maybe, but the 6502 is not basically a pipelined
processor, in
the sense that only a few instructions do anything close to pipelining,
and not even all the intructions that use the ALU do so.
Gee, Pete, maybe that's why I used quotes around "pipelined" just so
no one
could construe my statement as claiming the "6502 is basically a pipelined
processor."
Aside from arguing who is right, which I am not doing, you have to agree
with me that there's plenty of room for disagreement as the search I
suggested showed.
