#132793 - And the 6502?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard said:
For its time, it was very useful. It made very efficient use of the available memory bandwidth, too, unlike, say, the Motorola 680x series, or the MOS-Technology 650x series.

If I remember correctly the 6502 based designs were often a bit faster than Z80 based ones.

I worked with both of them for a while and had a lot fun...
