	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 six general purpose I/O pins.
		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.

	Vic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Vic is the capital of the comarca of Osona, in the province of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
		The conflict became the War of Spanish Succession and the end of the freedom for Catalonia as a nation.
		VIC (all caps) denotes the MOS Technologies Video Interface Chip used in the Commodore VIC-20 home computer ("VIC" may also colloquially refer to the successor chip, VIC-II, used in the Commodore 64 and 128).

	The MOS 6567/6569 video controller (VIC-II)
		The VIC has four interrupt sources: On reaching a certain raster line (raster interrupt), on the collision of two or more sprites, on the collision of sprites with graphics data and on a negative edge on the light pen input.

		For this, the VIC reads a sprite data pointer for each sprite in every raster line from the very last 8 bytes of the video matrix (p-access) that is used as the upper 8 bits of the address for sprite data accesses (s-accesses).

	MOS Technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MOS Technology, Inc., also known as Commodore Semiconductor Group, was a microprocessor and calculator company famous for its 6502 processor.
		In addition, MOS had a secret weapon, the ability to "fix" their masks.² Masks are the large drawings of the chip that are photo-reduced to make the pattern from which chips are made – a process similar to photocopying.
		MOS had learned the trick of fixing their masks after they were made.

		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.
		The 6502 was next used in the Apple II family, and then quickly appeared in various Commodore and Atari home computers, the BBC Micro family, and a huge number of other designs now lost to history.

		The VIC-II (Video Interface Chip II), specifically known as the MOS Technologies 6567/8562/8564 (NTSC versions), 6569/8565/8566 (PAL versions), is the integrated circuit chip responsible for generating composite video graphics and RAM refresh signals in the Commodore 64 and C128 home computers.
		The VIC-II, succeeding MOS' original VIC (used in the VIC-20), was one of two chips mainly responsible for the C64's success as the best-selling computer model of all time (the other was the SID sound chip).
		The VIC-II was programmed by manipulating its 47 control registers (up from 16 in the VIC), memory mapped to the range $D000—$D02E in the C64 address space.

		The Apple II family was the first series of microcomputers made by Apple Computer, in the late 1970s and early-to-mid 1980s.
		The original Apple II The first Apple II computers went on sale starting on June 5, 1977 with a MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor running at 1 MHz, 4 KB of RAM, an audio cassette interface, and the Integer BASIC programming language built into the ROMs.
		The success of the Apple II also goaded IBM to create the IBM PC, which was then purchased by middle managers in all lines of business in order to run spreadsheet and word processor software (which at first was ported from the Apple II versions, and later inspired whole new application software franchises).

		Because the VIC and the PET use completely different memory maps, PEEK and POKE commands were not compatible and because the VIC had only a 22 character screen while the original PET's had 40 character screens, only VERY rudimentary Basic 2.0 software would function on both machines.
		A VIC user in Europe, Holger Zahnleiter, reports that In 1983 he bought a VC20 kit for DM800; it came with a 16K expansion cartridge and a tape drive.
		Just as the VIC 20 was becoming popular and many stores and some multi-level marketing organizations had acquired significant inventories, rumors began to emerge that Commodore was completing work on a vastly more powerful version of the VIC 20 to be called the VIC 64, which of course was eventually released as the Commodore 64.

	Commodore PET
		However in 1975 TI increased the price to the point where the chip set alone cost more than what TI sold their entire calculators for, and the industry they had build up was frozen out of the market.
		Commodore responded by looking for a chip set of their own they could purchase outright, and quickly found MOS Technologies who were bringing their 6502 design to market.
		As a home computer the line was quickly surpassed in sales by machines that included color graphics, mainly the Apple II and Atari 8-bit family.

		Commodore had several interrelated companies, but basically, there was the chip-making operation (MOS Technologies, maker of the KIM-1 single-board computer), and the computer company.
		MOS, a Pennsylvania-based chip foundry, was purchased for $3 million by Commodore (and renamed the Commodore Semiconductor Group) in November 1976 as a strategic move by its then leaders, Jack Tramiel and Irving Gould.
		MOS was bought by Commodore so that CBM could ensure a constant supply of chips which at the time, were used in its calculator products.

	MOS_Technology_8563
		The MOS Technology 8563 aka VDC (for Video Display Controller) was MOS' 80-column RGB display video chip used in the Commodore 128 home computer (the C128 also had a VIC-II for producing bitmap graphics and 40-column text, and for C64 compatibility).
		The 8563 was a departure from other MOS video chip designs in that it had its own dedicated memory, and memory space, separate from system memory.
		In addition, yields on the chip were very low, and Commodore's official position after the release of the C128 was that the VDC was incapable of producing bitmapped graphics.

		Yes, MOS made it, and to further nitpick, it's actually a 6510 which has an extra IO port on it, which the C-64 uses for switching RAM and ROM in and out of the 64k addressing space.

		Undoubtedly they didn't move to the Apple II during the post-Apple III era because the smaller 3.5 inch drives were coming for the Mac, and had the potential of holding 800K of data (almost as much as these) and would cost less.

		The cost of building each C64 was estimated at US$135 due to Commodore's vertical integration (Commodore owned MOS Technologies, who made most of the chips), leaving a large margin to work with.
