		MOS Technology VIC-II The VIC-II (Video Interface Chip II), specifically known as the MOS Technology 6567/8562/8564 (NTSC versions), 6569/8565/8566 (PAL), is the integrated circuit chip tasked with generating composite video graphics and DRAM refresh signals in the Commodore 64 and C128 home computers.
		Succeeding MOS' original VIC (used in the VIC-20), the VIC-II was one of the two chips mainly responsible for the C64's success as the best-selling computer model of all time (the other chip being the 6581 SID).

		As the calculator market grew MOS eventually became largely beholden to Commodore International (then CBM), who bought practically all of their supply for their line of calculators.
		MOS was a small firm with good credentials in the right area (the east coast) so that was that.
		After Commodore's bankruptcy in 1994, Commodore Semiconductor Group (the formerly MOS Technology, Inc.) was bought by its former management for about $4.3 million, plus an additional $1 million to cover miscellaneous expenses including EPA liens.

	MOS Technology 6510 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The MOS Technology 6510 is a microprocessor designed by MOS Technology, Inc., and is a direct successor of the very successful 6502.
		The primary changes from the 6502 were the addition of clock pins, which allowed the chip to make use of external clocks, and the addition of I/O ports which allowed the CPU to handle simple I/O tasks without needing the 6522 VIA.
		In both the C64 and SX-64 the extra pins of the processor were used for bank switching, and in the C64 also for controlling the electric motor of the Datassette tape recorder.

		The MOS Technology 6502 is an 8-bit microprocessor designed by MOS Technology in 1975.
		When it was introduced it was the least expensive full featured CPU on the market by far, at about 1/6th the price, or less, of competing designs from larger companies such as Motorola and Intel.
		Motorola immediately sued, and although today the case would have been dismissed out of hand, the damage to MOS was enough for them to agree to stop producing the 6501.

		It was similar in concept to other mini-consoles based on the Atari 2600 and Intellivision, which had gained modest success earlier in the decade.
		The C64 used an 8-bit MOS Technology 6510 microprocessor (a close derivative of the 6502 with the added ability to bank-switch the machine's ROM in and out of the processor's address space) and had 64 kilobytes of RAM, of which 38 KB were available to built-in Commodore BASIC.
