I should have tested all the signals before mailing in the CPU to see if any of them were dead. >>> The driver structure for P5 is >>> also missing; for the 8500 and 8502, this will have to be different. > > The drivers / latches for D and P are, top to bottom: 0 1 2 3 4 6 7 5, > where that last one doesn't have the P stuff.

If MOS stuck to the usual numbering scheme, it would mean the 8500 came first, at least as far as the design is concerned. Also, they did manufacture the 6510 and the 8500 in parallel for a while. I do have an 8500 with a 1985 datecode and a few 6510 with 1986 datecodes. I wonder why they did it... Reliability issues that caused them to go back to the 6510 until they were cleared up? > These additions can easily be made to a 6502 to create a 6510, without > adding a whole wide ring of stuff around it all, except obviously for > the P port stuff itself. The 850x is different of course, because the > pad drivers have to be a lot bigger relatively. So I'd still like to > see what things look like on the 6510 :-) I'd like to see the 8500 or 8502 first to see if it's really just a few minor changes.
