One thing cannot be debated -- the 6502 was a hell of a lot cheaper than 
the 6800. Peddle was working at Motorola when he first tried designing a 
processor that wasn't a pricey as a 6800. Motorola said 'Not interested!'.

There was a parallel when Ward Christensen floated the idea for a personal 
computer up his IBM chain of command and the memo came down 'No market 
there. Knock yourself out on your own time.'  I had to check. He didn't 
have Peddle's entrepreneurial drive and happily retired from IBM.
