MOS Technologies

A {microprocessor} design company started by some

(ex-{Motorola}?) designers, shortly after the {Intel 8080} and

{Motorola 6800} appeared, in about 1975. MOS Technologies

introduced the {650x} series, based on the {Motorola 6800}

design, though they were not exact clones for legal reasons.

By the time the 6510 was used in the {Commodore 64}, around

September 1981, MOS were a wholly owned subsiduary of

Commodore(?).
