  Smart Computing Encyclopedia Entry - Chuck Peddle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Chuck Peddle is a little-recognized computer pioneer who initiated groundbreaking efforts in early computers, works that were the embryo for computers to follow.
Peddle not only designed one of the first personal computers but also he co-designed the microprocessor (the 6800), founded a little-known but important company called MOS Technology, and went on to help put Commodore on the map.
Peddle was at Motorola in 1973 when he and other engineers developed the 6800 processor, which would become one of the first microprocessors to hit the market.

 Chuck Peddle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electronics engineer Chuck Peddle is mostly known as the main designer of the MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor; the KIM-1 SBC; and its successor the Commodore PET school/business/home computer, both based on the 6502.
Peddle had worked at Motorola from 1973 on the development of the 6800 processor but then left for MOS Technology, where he headed the design of the 650x family of processors; these were made as an answer to the Motorola 6800.
As MOS was later bought by Commodore (CBM), Peddle left the company in 1980 together with CBM financer Chris Fish to found Sirius Systems Technology.

 Secret Weapons of Commodore: The Story of Commodore
Peddle developed its forerunner, the 6501, in direct competition with Motorola's workhorse 6800, the very chip he had been designing at Motorola, to the point where it was intended to be pin-compatible.
Legend has it that Peddle brought up the idea of making a desktop computer out of the 6502; after the failed bid for Apple, that was just what Tramiel wanted, and put Peddle on the job with Tramiel's second son Leonard to design a computer of Commodore's own.
Peddle, ever the innovator, believed this thinly-veiled attempt at maximizing volume would stunt the technological growth of the PET line.

In 1979, after Tramiel insisted that memory components for the new PETs must be derived from MOS Technology, against Peddle's wishes, the two men split and Peddle joined Victor United, a subsidiary of of the giant Walter Kidde Corporation and formed Sirius Systems Technology to produce the Sirius 16-bit business machines.

Zilog got away with this obvious misappropriation of "intellectual property" (and produced a better processor, to boot), whereas when Chuck Peddle, formerly of Motorola, came out with the 6501, whose instruction set was like his ex-employer's 6800 processor, lawyers paid him a call.
Peddle, lacking the resources for a courtroom battle, withdrew the 6501, reworked the instruction set, and released the MOS Technology 6502.
The 6502 had some interesting er...features, one being the infamous JMP indirect bug and another being an ambiguous response if an IRQ and NMI were simultaneously detected (which interrupt had higher priority -- I always assumed the NMI but the processor didn't always agree with me).
