In fact it's my question :)  aging synertek 6502  or strange 6502 from 
synertek

for the low level I've not noticed anything special

they all looked slightly above 0, the same for all 6502 tested


I'm connecting the 6502 bus to a 3.3v chip with 1k resistors... (a 
propeller)
not sure if the signal would still be ok after the 5v to 3.3v conversion 
if the high level is at 2.5v
the goal of the propeller is to catch the write between $8000 and $8fff 
and produce a video signal on vga

I'm retrying the tests of my board after having replaced the synertek  
6502 by a mos 6502
