While the CHEAP 6502 is remembered with the Apple
we must not forget that the 16 pin 4K dram really made that computer
work. Regardless of the architecture, 32 KB is needed to do
any useful computing work, and 1975 was the start of affordable
memory.
PS: Ben's 18 bit computer is BETTER than a PDP 11, faster, simpler
and with *2 MORE Blinking lights and Switches*. 1.25 us Core (2.5 us
instruction time) vs the orginal PDP 11.
did I say more blinking lights. :)
