[comp.sys.apple2] '816 in Nintendo

rhyde@ucrmath.ucr.edu (randy hyde) (01/07/91)

Since I do not own a Nintendo, I reported that it contains an '816 based
on second hand knowledge (Bill Mensch said he was getting royalties on
the device when we were talking about the '816).  Others have reported
that the device contains only a 65c02 (which I believe Mesch also gets
royalties on).  If someone has actually opened one of these up I'd be
interested in finding out which chip is really inside so I don't
continue to propogate bad information.

 Nintendo contains a 6502.  The super famicom (super
nintendo) contains a 65816.
