Cleaning house since movement therein has become difficult and while
trashing out an old piece of equipment came across a SBC consisting of
a Rockwell 6501 that ran a credit card reader. It has RS232 and what
looks like room for a peripheral chip of some ilk. Viewing at

Note that the Rockwell R6501Q is *not* a second-source of the
MOS Technology MCS6501 (nor was CRC suggesting that it was).
The R6501Q is a member of Rockwell's microcontroller family, which use
a 6502 core with on-board memory and I/O, similar to the 8035/8048 family.
I don't recall whether the R6501Q contained masked ROM, but it did have
192 bytes of SRAM.
One of my friends used to make SBCs using the R6511Q, which had
fancier on-chip I/O, timers, etc.
I'm still looking for an R65C29, which was a dual-core 6502. There
was a datasheet, but I'm not sure they actually made the part. The
single-chip microcontroller version was the R65C00/21.

Were the microprocessors made by the same group as the modem group in
Newport Beach? I am working on of the Conexant (ex Rockwell) buildings.
They attempted to do a DSP and the lack of success of that effort was
what lead to the downfall of their plans as modem sales have dwindled.
Pale shadow of the former company.

Okay, dumb question, how possible is it to get Linux drivers for various
Rockwell/ Conexant modems that must be software controlled?

Sorry, folks! That was intended for a off-list friend. I shouldn't use email
when I'm tired! :^)
I'll go back to sleep now.
