As the 6800 pin is called "-HALT", that might be the reason why some
people called it so on the 6502, too. ;)

I believe the MOS hardware manual introduced the name RDY, but it also
directly compared it to the HALT on the 6800 (chapter 1.2.1, p. 12, on
Hardware Manual from Janury 1976, 2nd edition, Revision A,
