For Jim Scherrer, founder and president of the Compuseum, the 6502 microprocessor chip made Montgomery County’s MOS Technology the “vanguard of personal computing.” The 6502 chip was created by MOS ...

MOS Technology was the birthplace of the venerable 6502 microprocessor, the VIC video chip, and the SID sound chip to name the really famous ones. It also brought us the TED Text Display chip ...

Chip hall of fame: MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor When one particular chubby-faced geek stuck one particular chip into one particular computer circuit board and booted it up, the universe ...

If the 8-bit 1MHz MOS Technology 6502, designed by Chuck Peddle in 1975, doesn’t trip off the tongue to the average Internet user, its influence on computing history is still immense.

The venerable MOS Technology 6502 turned up in all kinds of computers and other digital equipment over the years. Typically, it was clocked fairly slow and had limited resources, but that was just ...

Designed in the 1970s by electrical engineer Chuck Peddle and his team for MOS Technology, the 8-bit MOS 6502 ran at 1-2 MHz and packed 3,510 transistors. As the most affordable chip of its kind ...

This team of 17 processor designers and layout experts eventually became part of MOS Technology in 1974; in a year, they were able to produce a faster and cheaper processor known to the world as 6502.

He's best known as the lead designer for MOS Technology's 6502, a low-cost processor (just $25 in 1975) that found its way into first-wave home computers like the Apple II and Commodore PET.

The Apple I had a MOS Technology 6502 chip at its heart, though co-founder Steve Wozniak designed most of the other original hardware, including the circuit boards. Apple continued to invent and ...

The Furby’s source code is written in 6502 assembly. That said, it’s worth pointing out that the original Furby itself didn’t run a MOS Technology 6502 chip — the likes of which also ...

The 6502 was developed at MOS Technology by a team of designers who had left Motorola because they were convinced that the high cost of the company’s 6800 was a barrier to high volume adoption. At the ...

So Mr. Peddle moved the project to MOS Technology, a rival chip maker near Valley Forge, Pa., taking seven other Motorola engineers with him. There they built a processor called the 6502.
