- The Commodore 64 was very similar, except that it was besed in the
- 6510. The 6510 was based on the same instruction set, but had minor
- differences (which I don't remember). The _Programmer's_Reference_Guide_
- published my Commodore had about half of its pages dedicated to ML, the
- opcodes, clock cycles, chip data, pinouts, and a big (suitable for
- framing) schematic in the back.
