chuck peddle

Electronics engineer Chuck Peddle is mostly known as the main designer of the MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor; the KIM-1 SBC; and its successor the Commodore PET school/business/home computer, both based on the 6502. The 650x series CPUs was made as an answer to the Motorola 6800. Peddle had worked at Motorola from 1973 on the development of the 6800 processor, but then left for MOS Technology and there headed the design of the 650x family of processors, the most famous member being the 6502 which was subsequently used in very many microcomputer devices (three well-known examples from the consumer market are the Apple II, the Commodore VIC-20 and the Nintendo Entertainment System aka NES). In the meantime, Commodore (CBM) had bought MOS. In 1980, Peddle left CBM/MOS together with CBM financer Chris Fish to found the company Sirius Systems Technology.
