6502 chip

If your realllly curious about what computers looked like back then -- this
guy designed and build one using ttl.

however, note that IC were newfangled critters back in the 60s. Imagine
doing this all with transistors and core memory, not with neat little ICs
that have it all build in. Somebody posted a NASA page that described the
details -- scary what they did. The 6502 is a real supercomputer compared to
what they had available. 

BTW, the 6502 on a AIM65 was the first micro I got to use/program and was a
very good processor for its time. You would be surprised to find out just
how many 4bit and 8bit micros are still in use for embedded systems. My
personal preference is Z80 and CPM.:-)  Simple and easy to use -- at the
time.
