The chip that changed the world. This is a Rockwell-manufactured version of the MOS 6502. If you played Nintendo, used an Apple II, or typed on a Commodore 64, you used a 6502.
This specific "Mexico" variant is a beautiful example of the globalization of semiconductor manufacturing in the early 80s. The 6502's simplified design made it cheap enough to put a computer in every home. It is the Model T of the information age.
