[comp.sys.apple] 6502 clone chips in video equip.

MSER001@ECNCDC.BITNET (05/19/89)

I just noticed today, that some of the video equipment has 6502 and 6522
clones in them.  I havent seen a switcher that has any "nice" processors like
this in them, but why dont they use 65816's?  In the near future we can all
use the Apple video boards, and also port programs, and control an entire
video system with our Apple GS.  Has anyone seen any switchers that have
some cpu's that are "available" through its serial port(s)?  Most of the
really nice switchers work like an old hardwired computer!(junk)  Now..if
apples card would just allow >3 sources, S-VHS (c-y), fx, while acting as a
time base corrector, allow for time code(s), and allow one to set source or
destination entry and exit points, they could take over the video industry!

Anyway...I just wanted to say i saw 6502 (clones that were to act like 6502)
in video equipment today!
