[comp.sys.atari.8bit] 65c802 and card

Cothrell@DOCKMASTER.ARPA (09/21/87)

Contrary to popular belief...the 65C802 is not 100% compatible with the
6502.  I discovered this in building the processor replacement card..
the 65c802 cannot have its cycle extended by "stretching" the Phase 0
clock at a logical 0.  the spec sheet specifies a "maximum T0-low" for
the phase 0; the max time for my chip (4Mhz version) is 10 us.  the 6502
max low time is infinity.  the 65C802 max high time is infinity, but the
6502 has a non-infinite max high time.  Back to the drawing board.
