I think that may have been the case with a 6510, but I think that it is a
little different in the 65816 acting almost as a "HALT". From a document off
the net:
=========================================
A low input logic level will halt the microprocessor in its current state
(note that when in the Emulation mode, the G65SC802 stops only during a read
cycle).Returning RDY to the active high state allows the microprocessor to
continue following the next Phase 2 In Clock negative transition. 
=========================================
Does everyone else read it the same way?
