Hello, all:

    Through the kindness of our own Bill Yakowenko, I've been given a copy
of the MOS Microcomputers Hardware Manual, which I scanned last night. It
appears that this document is like a summary of and a design guidelines
white paper for the MOS 65xx product line, but it includes information
traditionally found in the data sheets, like pinouts, pin function
descriptions, mask-programmable options, chip architecture and function,
plus so much more!

    The chips covered explicitly in the book include the 6501, 6502,
6503-05, 6520, and 6530. It also describes "System Diagnosis Using Hardware
Programmer Aids", which mentions the KIM, TIM (Teletype Input Monitor), and
the MDT (Microcomputer Development Terminal). The TIM is implemented as a
single 6530 chip. The MDT appears to be acomplete development system: "MDT
is a prepackaged system and, therefore, should not have the problems
described above {debugging the initial system design} unless it is being
used in in circuit emulation mode. Therefore, the user will be primarily be
debugging his programs and his basic interconnection to his I/O devices with
the MDT."

    This is a large scan, and will be posted in parts. Enjoy.
