This was posted on the net a while back. I saved this because I knew I would need it someday. ------------------------------ Apparently the so called "6502" used in the Atari's is a custom modified chip, hence its not using the industry type JDEC number. From Mike at Xerox comes the following: Atari 6502c #C014806 standard 6502 pin no. function pin no. function 36 READ/WRITE 36 N.C. 35 /HALT 35 N.C. 34 N.C. 34 READ/WRITE Therefore one could bend up pins 34 and 36 and do a wire connection to swap these two pins, but that would still leave you without a /HALT command. (Presumably the halt command is necessary.) I do not know if the 6502c chip used by Atari is identical between the original 400/800, the intermediate XL series and the current XE series.
