Just learned that Chuck Peddle, driving force behind the development of the 6502 processor used in the NES, Commodore 64, and many others, passed away recently.  RIP Mr Peddle, you changed the world.

I read the site posted in above and learned a lot. It's written by one of the developing team's daughters who found all her father's research and documents. It's fascinating how Chuck Peddle just rounded up his co workers at Motorola, started a new company from scratch and created a product that revolutionized an industry and changed the world. You could never pull that off nowadays. I also had no idea that they did all this in Valley Forge, PA, which fills me with even more regional pride.

 

RIP Chuck Peddle. Your daring to dream will echo for generations to come. If not for you, we might not even have the topic upon which this forum is based.
