I would be willing to bet relatively large sums of money that there are more 6502 systems in the world than 8080 (including Z80) systems. After all, the 6502 is used in the following products: Apple ][, ][e, III Comadore pet, Vic 20, vic 64 Atari 400,800 OSI computers of various sorts It only the hacker/hobbiests who have z80 cpm systems. unfortunately, they are the ones writing code... Perhaps things would have come out differently if there had been a standard operating system for the 6502 (ala CP/M)... BillW
