    Yes, and I seem to remember that an other reason to
use the 1802
 was because RCA exactly specified what the CPU would do on *any*
 "opcode", even for the codes that were not actually instruction codes?

That's right -- I'd forgotten that.  There was also some work done to
see what effect ionising radiation would have on them.  Another factor
was that the 1801 and 1802 were the first available low-power CMOS
microprocessors.
