Making it an
even weirder design; 256 bytes of stack RAM.
Didn't the humble 6502 (and no doubt lots of others) have an 8-bit stack
pointer?
Yup. However, this was just ordinary RAM, fixed at location $0100. On RAM
starved systems like the KIM-1, program code was often put in the stack and
careful management of the stack employed to prevent it getting overwritten.
